[Bug 998727] [NEW] Desktop freezes, mouse movable but no interaction

 

*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 993187 ***
    https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/993187

Public bug reported:

Symptoms:
    Desktop freezes. A look at the clock applet indicates that display stopped refreshing. Mouse is movable, but there is no interaction. i.e, clicks do not do anything. Keyboard input does nothing.

Known workaround:
    Switch to a tty, login, and run unity --replace. It gets fixed, but the problem may recurr after a while.

How to reproduce:
    Some actions trigger this behaviour everytime they are done, for example, opening calibre (which doen't open, btw), or trying to delete a file (bypassing trash) from nautilus. Othertimes, it occours randomly.

 1. Open nautilus,
 2. Right click a file/folder, and click delete. 
                          OR, with calibre installed,
1. Open Dash
2. Search for calibre
3. Click calibre to open.
                        OR, wait for it to happen all of a sudden.

Details and additional information:
----------
Distributor ID:	Ubuntu
Description:	Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
Release:	12.04
Codename:	precise

* Fresh installation, retaining /home from previous 11.10 install. 
* If confirmed as a bug, will be a regression. i.e; everything was working flawlessly in 11.10.
* Some wierd proxy config doesn't let me use ubuntu-bug, and so i'm attaching .apport files generated by apport-cli.
* Unsure of the culprit, but starting with compiz as a reasonable guess.

** Affects: compiz (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: New
