This bug affects me also on ubuntu 13.10. It is very unpredictable and until now I am not able to pinpoint the bug to a particular package.

I am not sure but I think it has something to do with the panel. In two occasions the gamma switched from .7 back to 1 and the date and time disappeared from the panel. I was not able to restore the date and time without reboot.
