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.
