So, I switched to UXA, which I did by adding a file "20-intel.conf" containing 
this:
<code>
Section "Device"
        Identifier  "Intel Graphics"
        Driver      "intel"
        Option      "AccelMethod"  "uxa"
EndSection
</code>

The bug seems to be gone this way. But apparently the UXA mode has its
own problems (such as gnome-terminal invariably freezing the entire
session (mouse included) for 15 secs).

Hope that helps
Thanks
C.
