Gaz, your issue is actually a separate bug and is (most likely) a crash in your driver. Compiz can't cause your entire session to crash, only the X server itself and the drivers loaded in to it can do that.
For the original issue, compiz 0.9 (currently in natty) has the ability to handle these large windows even when your video card/driver cannot but we currently do not have it enabled by default. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of compiz packagers, which is subscribed to compiz in ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/579822 Title: Large window size crashes compiz _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~compiz Post to : compiz@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~compiz More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
