Bug Description
You can read a little bit about my quest to get my computer back to normal on here http://
After upgrade from 11.10 to 12.04 Unity 3D was unusable and slow. I managed to get it fixed by deleting ~/.config however after a couple of minutes my computer freezes and the only way to get it back is using the reset button. I can SSH from another computer and see Xorg is taking 100% of the CPU.
It seems Gnome Shell is not affected. The problem only happens in Unity 3D.
