Public bug reported: System is Dell 15z which has a Cypress touchpad. Although not reproducible at will, with distressing regularity some finger drags on the touchpad returns you to the Unity login screen because the X server crashes. It seems that it is a fast drag that does it, but attempts to make it happen at will so far have failed. Apparently it is evil and waits for an inopportune time nail your most important work.
