** Description changed:

  I have had compiz (which I am running with "compiz --replace" as a
  command after login to my Gnome 3 fallback session) crash on me a couple
  of times. It usually happens after switching workspace with
  ctrl+alt+arrow_key. The syslog says:
  
  "Dec 16 15:12:59 rasmus-OptiPlex-GX620 gnome-session[1460]: WARNING: App 'compiz.desktop' respawning too quickly
  Dec 16 15:12:59 rasmus-OptiPlex-GX620 gnome-session[1460]: WARNING: Error on restarting session managed app: Component 'compiz.desktop' crashing too quickly"
  
+ The same thing can also happen saying that "gnome-wm" is crashing too
+ quickly.
+ 
  After the crash, I can't switch workspace anymore and window decorations
  and the gnome panel are missing. I can go into a tty prompt, kill all
  gnome-panel and decorator-related processes in htop and then start
  metacity with "metacity --replace --display=:0" to get back to a usable
  desktop.
+ 
+ I am wondering if it is perhaps related to a similar crash when using
+ Unity, but that results in a completely noninteractive desktop:
