The bug is back at 16.04 32bit with a slight variation: relates also to dedicated GPUs, normal desktop works somewhat slow but normal, changing resolution or inflicting high video load makes compiz and therefore X11/lightdm crash/blackscreen/restart lightdm (eg starting frozen bubble in full screen will restat lightdm). Using dconf write /org/compiz/profiles/unity/plugins/opengl/enable-x11-sync false fixes all problems.
