Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: compiz

I get regular crashes when I switch the window managers. For example, if
I type

metacity --replace

there seems to be an OK switch to metacity, but then I type

compiz --replace

and I get the output

Checking for Xgl: not present. 
Detected PCI ID for VGA: 00:02.0 0300: 8086:2a02 (rev 03) (prog-if 00 [VGA 
controller])
Checking for texture_from_pixmap: not present. 
Trying again with indirect rendering:
Checking for texture_from_pixmap: present. 
Checking for non power of two support: present. 
Checking for Composite extension: present. 
Comparing resolution (1280x800) to maximum 3D texture size (2048): Passed.

Checking for Xgl: not present. 
/usr/bin/compiz.real (video) - Warn: No 8 bit GLX pixmap format, disabling YV12 
image format
GConf backend: There is an unsupported value at path 
/apps/compiz/plugins/scale/allscreens/options/initiate_edge. Settings from this 
path won't be read. Try to remove that value so that operation can continue 
properly.

After which the system is extremely unstable. Almost anything thereafter
leads to a complete crash of the system and not even Ctrl+Alt+Del helps
(even though the Radio kept playing!).

Btw, I have Hardy 8.04 and Gnome 2.22.3.
