All of this will go away once 0.9 hits.

What's happening here is that applications are requesting to create
_absurdly_ large windows which happen to be larger than the maximum
texture size _hardware_ limit that your graphics card has. I believe
ubuntu has patched compiz such that it will freak out and kick you
back to metacity rather than attempting to crash your graphics
hardware by creating huge textures out of those huge windows.

Compiz 0.9 will support tiled texturing, so the window will still
appear, it will just span over multiple textures (although this will
not be noticeable to the user).

You'll get Compiz 0.9 as soon as all the Unity-Compiz related stuff hits
ubuntu.

Cheers,

Sam
