I tried compiz --replace, which seemed to work (redrew all of my
windows, messed up my workspaces), but resulted in two compiz processes
running:

mdz       1827  1.3 18.1 2181580 557564 ?      Dl   Apr10  62:31 compiz
mdz      24782  2.8  0.7 347156 21592 pts/0    Sl   20:40   0:03 compiz --replace

and more continuous hard disk thrashing.

Then, the older compiz process actually started to consume *more*
resident memory:

mdz       1827  1.3 24.0 2181580 738676 ?      Dl   Apr10  62:32 compiz

at which point I tried to strace it to see what was going on:

perseus:[~] strace -p 1827
Process 1827 attached - interrupt to quit
+++ killed by SIGSEGV (core dumped) +++
