I discovered that disabling the xorg "Composite" extension fixes this
issue for me (For the record, I was having this issue with the
commercial NVidia drivers, not Intel).

In your /etc/X11/xorg.conf add this, and then restart X:

Section "Extensions"
         Option "Composite" "Disable"
EndSection

Of course, this means you can't use Unity or Compiz.  I prefer to use
Metacity ("Classic Mode (No Effects)" mode) and this is fine with me!
