[MC Return <989879@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Public bug reported:

The logs attached are still from a working system (did not make the upgrade to 0.9.8 on this machine yet), but most recent Compiz update for Precise kills the display completely.
It seems that the plugin cube reflection & deformation seems to confuse the new Compiz completely, but I am not sure if that plug-in is causing the problem although now Ubuntu seems to render the skydome graphic instead of the desktop background graphic. Windows and menus are not rendered anymore at all, so the desktop is completely unusable now.

I also had many problems with the plugins trip, simple animations and
the shift-window-switcher. These are all nice, important plugins I would
like to continue to use with Compiz (like the deformed desktop cube) and
it is a big regression if a lot of great plug-ins are not usable with
recent Compiz/Unity versions in Precise anymore. Please do not drop
support for these plugins completely.
