** Description changed:

  Ever since I installed Ubuntu 12.04 x86-64, I've experienced several X
  crashes/freezes each day.  Sometimes it happens when I play a Flash
  video on the web, or when I play a local video file. Sometimes it
  happens when I have multiple Firefox windows open, and I click on the
  dock icon to reveal both windows.
  
- Sadly, although the bug triggers frequently, I've had difficulty reproducing 
it consistently.  I'll play a video and X will crash, yet after restarting X or 
rebooting the machine, the same video plays fine.

+ Sadly, although the bug triggers frequently, I've had difficulty
+ reproducing it consistently.  I'll play a video and X will crash, yet
+ after restarting X or rebooting the machine, the same video plays fine.
+ 
+ When the bug occurs, the screen freezes with the exception of the mouse
+ cursor.  I can SSH into the machine.  Killing the X process *usually*
+ works just fine: the desktop environment starts right back up and I can
+ continue using the machine until the next freeze.  However, the last
+ time I tried this the desktop environment never restarted, and I
+ rebooted the machine.
+ 
+ My current uptime is 18 hours, but most of that time the machine was
+ sitting there idle.  If history is any indication, I can expect a crash
+ by the end of the day.
+ 
+ Anecdotally, the freeze seems more likely when I have several
+ applications open (Firefox with several tabs, some of which may contain
+ Flash video; the Terminal; my Downloads directory in a file manager
+ window; and perhaps VLC).  Freezes seem more likely when using Compiz
+ effects like when I switch applications.
+ 
+ Please excuse me for not using Ubuntu-specific terminology.  I use
+ several different OSes on any given day and it's hard for me to keep
+ track of the names of every application, subsystem, etc.
+ 
+ I don't normally maintain distribution code, so please let me know what else 
I can do to help fix this bug.
