Starting in November 2014 Ubuntu X windows screwed up with 
VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 4 Series Chipset Integrated 
Graphics Controller (rev 03)
making Wallpaper badly hashed.  
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/1507255
Then a couple months later even Ubuntu text badly garbled, illegible.
Workarond was:

/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf
Section "Device"
   Identifier "Intel Graphics"
   Driver "intel"
Option "AccelMethod" "uxa"
EndSection

So in every install since Nov. 2014 I've been making that change.
As of March 2016, that change screws up X windows and can't get desktop.

Voila, not needed, Xwindows now running fine.  That took Ubuntu a year and a 
half to fix.
Wonder how long ubuntu Xwindows will stay fixted....
