I also am affected by this.
HP Compaq 6730s, 3GB RAM, dual-core 2GHz.
Using the Classic Ubuntu interface

I am also affected by this bug. I am currently using an Asus n61 with intel core i5.

 As stated above there is no discernible pattern.
I am quite new to Ubuntu but, nonetheless I have a question. Since few people seem to have this problem may it be that something in the update of the ubuntu version went wrong and by reinstalling it it may be solved?

Posting .xsession-errors, hope it helps diagnose the problem.

I had this problem trying to install virtualbox guest additions for a while. Hasn't happened in 4.0.8
However, it just happened my laptop after saving changes to one of my videos on youtube. I clicked sign out right after and ubuntu logged me out.
ubuntu 11.04 64bit

Try to use sessions without compiz ("no effects") or simply uninstall compiz.
In my case this solved all stability issues.

This is a duplicate of bug 774978, which has a fix for testing in comment 25.

[Ahmose Solomon (rasa-ahmose)]

this effects me also, and its getting rather annoying.
totally random times.

Is there any kind of fix for this yet?

@ Eugene Swan~ You say "Try to use sessions without compiz ("no effects") or simply uninstall compiz.

That is wrong.
We are talking about 11.04 here.. with Unity..
which depends on compiz.
There is also no longer a "visual effects" tab in appearance window.
Therefore, no disabling them.

Having this problem on an Asus K55DR running Xubuntu 13.04.

Gonna need to have this fixed... arrh.
