They all show common patterns such as:
- Intel graphic cards
- Ubuntu 15.10
- Unity desktop environment
- Xorg crashes while opening applications windows or menus such as in 
thunderbird/libreoffice/etc.

>From my findings, a temporary workaround to prevent X from crashing
while opening windows/menus is to disable window animations in Compiz.
Use compizconfig-settings-manager for this tweak (sudo apt-get install
compizconfig-settings-manager). You can also use desktop environments
such as XFCE and LXDE which do not use compiz.

After upgrading to kernel 4.3 I didn't run into this issue for several (5) days.
Kernels can be downloaded from http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/

Please join me in testing is this bug has been fixed upstream.

My current kernel:
Linux 4.3.0-040300rc7-generic #201510260712 SMP Mon Oct 26 11:14:07 UTC 2015 
x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
