Public bug reported:

Compiz crashed when I activated an external monitor using nvidia-
settings. Apport did not notice the crash and there was nothing related
in /var/crash. Neither dmesg nor syslog have any indication of a
segfault. However there are some nasty-looking messages in syslog and
.xsession-errors.

syslog:
Oct  6 11:23:24 steve-laptop gnome-session[1717]: WARNING: Application 'compiz.desktop' killed by signal
Oct  6 11:23:24 steve-laptop gnome-session[1717]: WARNING: App 'compiz.desktop' respawning too quickly
Oct  6 11:23:24 steve-laptop gnome-session[1717]: CRITICAL: We failed, but the fail whale is dead. Sorry....


.xsession-errors:
compiz (core) - Warn: failed to receive ConfigureNotify event from request at 303489 (now: 661694)

compiz (core) - Warn: unhandled ConfigureNotify on 0x12000a4!
compiz (core) - Warn: this should never happen. you shouldprobably file a bug about this.
compiz (core) - Warn: failed to receive ConfigureNotify event from request at 287368 (now: 588002)

The crash happened at about 11:23AM (see related timestamps in the
logs).

To reproduce:
1) Boot 11.10
2) Work for a couple hours (optional?)
3) Plug in an external monitor
4) In nvidia-settings, select the second monitor and configure it for 'Twinview'

Actual results:
Compiz crashes and then comes back to life; there is lots of flickering/flashing and artifacts onscreen for about 10sec, then compiz comes back to life and the external monitor is enabled correct.y

Expected results:
The external monitor is turned on and enabled without any flashing, crashing, or artifacts.

nvidia driver version is 280.13-0ubuntu5; graphics card is a GeForce
8600M GT in a Macbook Pro 3,1.
