Bug Description

TEST CASE:
1. use multi-screen system and enable compiz
2. use it a while -> crash
3. install compiz from karmic-proposed
4. verify that after using it a while it does not crash

Binary package hint: compiz

We need an update to fix this bug, http://git.compiz.org/compiz/core/commit/?h=compiz-0.8&id=24dea72a395071b533dcf66b2eef37b20522cbba

It's causing compiz to crash 5 or 6 times a day on my multi screen system

Thanks :)

Are there any instructions in how to trigger the crash? Having that would be helpful for the SRU verification.
