I don't see anything particularly wrong in there.

Are you still suffering from this?

What's your display manager? If not gdm3, does this also happen with gdm3?

What's your graphics card and driver?

Can you attach the full journal, the dmesg output and the output of `ps aux' 
when the problem is happening (from a tty).
