What sort of graphics card do you have? ie Intel 915, Nvidia, ATI?
If Nvidia or ATI have you installed the restricted drivers necessary for advanced graphics?

From my experience I have seen this error vastly from ATI video cards.

*If* you have an ATI video card, try the following:

Open a terminal:

gksu gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Add the following lines to the file, and save. Restart GDM:

Section "Extensions"
 Option "Composite" "Disable"
EndSection

Section "ServerFlags"
 Option "AIGLX" "off"
EndSection

Can you help with this problem?
