[Bug 1515711] [NEW] lightdm hangs, windows freeze, lightdm restart helps most of the times.

 

Public bug reported:

Since a few days, when I use Android Studio, my screens freeze. Nothing
works. With alt-crtrl-F2 I log in to a shell window, restart lightdm,
then it works. Except on the last freeze, now I had to restart the
computer. When restarting lightdm, a popup said "system in low graphics
res, cannot detect your settings".

I have reported the but to Android Studio developers. But a program,
even a big one like an IDE, should not be able to crash my computer.
