Update: I tried to force the use of the "intel" X video driver with

  $ cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf 
  Section "Device"
          Identifier "Intel"
          Driver "intel"
  #       Option "AccelMethod" "uxa"
  EndSection

After restarting the X session, I found out that the same issues happen
even with the "intel" X video driver.
Could these issues depend on the kernel upgrade that was performed on
the box along with the xserver-xorg-core upgrade?

  [UPGRADE] linux-image-4.6.0-1-amd64:amd64 4.6.3-1 -> 4.6.4-1

I am Cc-ing the Debian Kernel Team about this.

Dear Kernel Team, should bug #832484 be reassigned to source package
linux/4.6.4-1 ?

Please let me know, thanks for your time.
