Not a real solution, but I found the reason for the crashes was the 
intel driver for me, so I replaced it by an older one.

I am still using ubuntu 12.04, but I installed newer intel drivers from 
a ppa some time ago and suddenly got the same problem as users updating 
to 13.04.

for me the reason was this package (has newer driver sources than 12.04):
https://launchpad.net/~glasen/+archive/intel-driver/+sourcepub/3088701/+listing-archive-extra

I downgraded to the regular 12.04 package for the intel driver and the x 
crashes were gone. maybe it's possible to install the package from 12.04 
on a 13.04 installation?

got mine from here...
