This is caused by the fact that due to a regression unity7 is not loaded anymore by upstart (but by gnome-session) and thus it seems that sometimes it doesn't properly gets restarted. This is also a security issue, because if the session was locked, and unity is not reloaded the session won't be locked anymore. [Test Case] From a terminal run killall -9 compiz multiple times, it should always reload, but it fails after a couple of times. [Regression Potential] The fix is about always making unity to be launched by upstart. Regression potential is low, since upstart is now used by most ubuntu desktop applications, and it ensures compiz will run properly anyway.
