Same here.

I tyied with Ubuntu 12.04 amd64 AND 32 bit version.

Nvidia driver: nvidia-current 295.40-0ubuntu1

Everytime I suspend and then I return - Unity 3D freezes.
Everytime I switch user and come back - - Unity 3D freezes.

I setup Unity 2D as the default login, and everything seems to work fine.

Ubuntu 11.10 that problem didnt exist.

It can probably be some incompatibility with Unity 3D acceleration and Nvidia Driver 295.40.
