I am experiencing the same kind of freeze on ubuntu 12.04 using either unity 3d or gnome shell. It is a radomly freeze. The screen completly freeze, but the mouse still mouve. After this freeze occured, every applications still run (music ... etc). Sometimes, after severals seconds, compiz restart automaticly (the crash has been detected and an automatic report has been sent). But most of times, I need to restart the X server using the comand (ALT + Impr + K). After that the system remains a litlle bit unstable and I often need to reboot. This crash appears frequently when I start to use the dash, when I am playing video on the wed (firefox) and perhaps when I am using some applications such as minitube, musique (need QT library) and clementine...
This freeze has never occured on ubuntu 11.10. I now activated the proposed updates : the bug still occured but most rarely (only using the dash).
