2002 9-3 SE - dropping RPMs / failed to start

The car in question is a 2002 9-3 SE (5-speed). It is my fiance's car, and she is a dingbat, so she has trouble describing the symptoms with specificity. She is experiencing an occasional, slight drop in RPMs while idling (and she thinks possibly while driving, but isn't sure).
Yesterday, after driving for about ten miles, she stopped for gas. After gassing up, the car supposedly failed to start. The starter motor cranked, but the engine wouldn't start. Then, after the car sat for fifteen minutes, it started right up.
What do you guys think? Direct ignition cassette? Fuel pump? Fuel pump relay? Crankshaft position sensor? User error (i.e., crazy woman driver who doesn't ever stop using the cell phone while driving)?
