[Phil Boutros <1511512@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks for the heads up about updating the BIOS, next time I will
definitely do that before submitting a report to avoid wasting your
time.

However, the problem still occurs (after re-enabling animations in
compiz).  Here is the output of the desired command:

$ sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date
A18
09/24/2013

What happens is that when trying to open a new window, sometimes (not
always), X restarts.  It's happened when trying to write a new email in
Thunderbird and when trying to show the Pidgin window.

Let me know if you need me to run the diagnostics tool again (although
the BIOS was the only thing updated since it was run).
