Bug Description

Not sure is this is the crash on Wayland or on Xorg, but it happened on both.

When I logged back in, the screen was immediately locked and unlocking it would quickly result in the crash (reproduced the crash sequence about 3x, 2x on Wayland before I tried the Xorg session).

I have a bit of an interesting screen setup when in my docking-station that may be related:
One rotated screen (fullhd, HDMI), one "normal" screen (fullhd, DVI), and the laptop's main screen (highdpi, LVDS) turned off but the lid is open.
