Ok same instructions as above w/out installing Synaptic.  For me, even
if I lock the packages in Synaptic, it appears to have no effect on
'apt-get upgrade'.

sudo apt-add-repository ppa:vanvugt/compiz-preproposed

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install compiz=1:0.9.7.8-0ubuntu1vvpreproposed2 compiz-
core=1:0.9.7.8-0ubuntu1vvpreproposed2 compiz-
gnome=1:0.9.7.8-0ubuntu1vvpreproposed2 compiz-
plugins=1:0.9.7.8-0ubuntu1vvpreproposed2 compiz-
plugins=1:0.9.7.8-0ubuntu1vvpreproposed2 compiz-plugins-
default=1:0.9.7.8-0ubuntu1vvpreproposed2
libdecoration0=1:0.9.7.8-0ubuntu1vvpreproposed2

(it will downgrade packages, allow it to continue)

echo compiz hold | sudo dpkg --set-selections
echo compiz-core hold | sudo dpkg --set-selections

That's it.  If Ubuntu ever fixes the issue, or more likely you are
forced to update because these packages are unmaintained and eventually
it breaks the apt-get dependency chain, undo the hold with these
commands...

echo compiz install | sudo dpkg --set-selections
echo compiz-core install | sudo dpkg --set-selections

Sam Spilsbury, thanks for keeping the repository up.
