Public bug reported: I have had compiz (which I am running with "compiz --replace" as a command after login to my Gnome 3 fallback session) crash on me a couple of times. It usually happens after switching workspace with ctrl+alt+arrow_key. The syslog says:
"Dec 16 15:12:59 rasmus-OptiPlex-GX620 gnome-session[1460]: WARNING: App 'compiz.desktop' respawning too quickly Dec 16 15:12:59 rasmus-OptiPlex-GX620 gnome-session[1460]: WARNING: Error on restarting session managed app: Component 'compiz.desktop' crashing too quickly" After the crash, I can't switch workspace anymore and window decorations and the gnome panel are missing. I can go into a tty prompt, kill all gnome-panel and decorator-related processes in htop and then start metacity with "metacity --replace --display=:0" to get back to a usable desktop.
