This happens consistently for me in 12.10. It started happening immediately after I upgraded to 12.10. After I log in Unity is usable for a minute or so then it permenantly freezes on both screens. I am able to work around the problem by not using my external monitor but that is no practical for me because I have a netbook with a small screen.

To get out of the frozen state I start another virtual terminal, log in and sudo reboot.

My system is an ASUS eeepc.
My graphics driver is "INTEL IGD X86 MMX SE2"
I am running stock Ubuntu 12.10
I have an external samsung monitor, VGA

Additionally I noticed that there is another new bug in this version. When a window runs slow, it dims. This has been standard behaviour for several versions. Now when it dims it also has a flashing or pulsing border. I saw this both in the configuration which hangs and in the non-hanging configuration.
