Abrupt closing of graphical session after various user actions on systems with Intel graphic card

Problem: MATE, Openbox Session is closing, blank screen and falling back to login screen

Other symptoms: Every crash produces a file in / called something like core.1428141; these are about 150MB of text each.

Solution:

There are problems with the default configuration on xorg. The solution is to create a file called 20-intel.conf and upload it to the /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d folder with the following lines: 

Section "Device"
  Identifier "Intel Graphics"
  Driver "Intel"
  Option "TearFree" "true"
EndSection
