Hi I got this bug on Xubuntu 13.04 and seems to be since doing a recent update (Xubuntu base - kernel, I guess).
In my case however, having done the update and then restarting my pc (as instructed), I was completely unable to arrive at the login screen. My only option was to press the power button and try again but login fails repeatedly and never succeeds. All I see is a black screen with a blinking text cursor in the top left corner. Pressing ctrl+alt+f2 lets me login and then by running "sudo restart lightdm" I get to the proper login screen. I logged into xfce, and it was at this point that the crash notification appeared with the same title as this bug. The black screen and blinking cursor problem has plagued my system since upgrading to 13.04. With 12.10, I never had such problems. Whilst it was irritating, it happened randomly and I could more or less live with it. Now though, it is EVERY TIME! My only route into my system is doing the above, or, selecting the previous kernel version in GRUB at bootup via advanced options. Prior to working out a method to log in, the problem effectively rendered my system unusable...and was rather alarming at first. I really, really, need things to be more stable than this. I had hoped, in fact, that the recent update would have fixed my original problem (since upgrade to raring 13.04). I did not, however, expect it to make things even worse! If I can be of any assistance to help crush this flaming bug then please let me know. Also, seeing as my description seems somewhat different to the OP, then perhaps my problem relates to something else. If so, kindly point me in the right direction... I hope the above helps.
