Public bug reported:

A few days ago my system started crashing preceded by really strange behavior. 
First I see some strange colors in the upper half of the screen, than the 
mouse-pointer gets bigger (as if a blank line was insert after every line - one 
line of the pointer-shape, one blank, one of the pointer,...). After that my 
Desktop falls back to an "older" looking theme. Something like the first 
XFCE-Versions - no round edges, everything flat - pretty much what Linux looked 
10 Years ago or so. Even some of the panel icons change (for example I'm using 
the "Action Button" icon to open the logout and shutdown dialog - usually it 
shows an open door, but than it shows a green man like the one on the 
emergency-exit signs). At that point the system reacts really slow to inputs 
(if at all) and a fem minutes later the screen goes black and I've to restart.
All this seems to happen completely at random. I didn't change any hardware or 
system configuration recently it just began.
