Hello all! "Executive summary" of the verbose text below: * I can confirm the same problem, and also that deleting anything under ~/.compiz*/* resolves my problem temporarily * I don't believe it's related to graphics adaptor & drivers, as my Thinkpad T500 with dual graphics has the exact s

I have a general problem whenever re-booting Ubuntu 12.10; Compiz seems to always crash, and I'm losing the launcher, dash, window decorations, ability to switch desktops or even window focus. If I'm able to type into a terminal under unity (still default tty7), I'm usually able to (temporarily)

I'd say go for your Alt A, Robert, and I agree that an authentication dialogue is better than the vanilla conf dialogue exactly like you say; This will definitely make the general "wife" or "brother" pause to think 3 seconds before shutting down & killing other sessions. I guess that power button
