I can confirm this. We have applied the latest updates to few laptops and those experiencing crashes. Sometimes the whole computer freezes (we have to hard reset the system) while sometimes the window manager crashes but the system is still responsive. There is no information in the syslog when system freezes but when the window manager dies you get the following outout in the syslog(attached as sys.log). The updates updated the intel video driver to the following version 2:2.17.0-1ubuntu4.3 Other laptops which has no updates applied are running the following version 2:2.17.0-1ubuntu4.2 I have also tried to backport the intel driver to 2:2.17.0-1ubuntu4 version ( i couldn't find 2:2.17.0-1ubuntu4.2) in theory this should work but still having same problems.
I have tried briefly unity2D which looked promising. Please let me know if you need more info.
