Hm... her computer might be one of the many kinds affected by 
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/993187 
or https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/999910.

There seems yet to be no single, definitive fix that works for everyone. Those 
bug reports are tedious and filled with a lot of useless junk, but you might be 
able to suss out something that works for her. Alas, none of them work for one 
of my computers -- a ThinkPad T520. OTOH, my ThinkPad X1 has absolutely no 
problem at all. Weird.
