Looking at the stack traces I agree. The title of this bug report was so generic that a lot of people have assumed they have the same problem. I've retitled.

@Everyone other than korsic, file a new bug please. You do *not* have a duplicate of this bug. We'll only be focusing on FrejSoya's issue here.

A necessary evil I'm afraid. The unfortunate fact is that with Xorg we've got around 2000 bugs open, plus around 100 new bugs per week presently. The Ubuntu-X team comprises half a dozen people - too few to stay on top of it. Mechanical pruning helps the largely volunteer team spend less time with bug triage drudgery and more on actual bug resolution.
