** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: compiz
  
  Natty, Alpha 3
  
  Compiz seems to crash quite often on me, and when it crashes, I
  completely lose the ability to interact with any of the windows because
- there is not fall-back to another window manager, e.g. Metacity. For
- some reason I also don't have any keyboard input anymore - I can click,
- but I cannot type anything anymore.
+ there is no fall-back to another window manager, e.g. Metacity. For some

  What I would expect is that when Compiz crashes, it immediately falls
  back to Metacity so I can at least continue working or saving open
  documents before relaunching GDM. As a workaround for now, I've made a
  desktop launcher that relaunches Compiz when double-clicking on it, but
  this surely can't be the solution.
  
  BTW - Compiz seems to crash most often when opening or minimizing
  Evolution for some reason...
