Just an update on the behavior of this bug.

About a week ago, there was an update installed by Update Manager that resolved (for me) the issue of Unity crashing. The problem with the screen resolution spontaneously changing was still present, but at least it was usable.

Yesterday, Update Manager installed a new set of updates, and the regression is back. It's gone back to nearly unusable.

I'm going to have to break down and reinstall 11.10 and hope that the video issues with 12.04 get resolved pretty soon.

While running Firefox makes the breakage happen extremely quickly, I have seen in the last day the breakage happen even with nothing but Thunderbird running. In this scenario, the Unit decoration and launcher bar went away, AND all menus became empty. The menu would still create a box, but the box was empty.
