It doesn't log you out. The screen-saver is password-protected. Change
this setting by going to "System - Preferences - Screensaver" and
unticking "Lock screen...".

Change the keyring password by going to "System - Preferences -
Passwords and Encryption Keys", right-clicking on the keyring, and
selecting "Change password".

It does log me out, I am back in gdm and have to select the user and
enter the password.
All applications are thus closed and I have to restart where I left off.

I cannot find the "System - Preferences - Passwords and Encryption
Keys" item in the menu.
There is a User and groups item, and that is where I changed my
password using the GUI.

This sounds to me a bit like X is crashing occasionally for you.
Check the logs in /var/log for anything suspicious ?

I have an unmodified Maverick and it's in "System - ..." but
"Applications - ..." rings a bell. Has it been moved?!
