The problem has not been solved, but I don't think it's compiz that's
causing the trouble. Last night I installed gnome: sudo aptitude install
gnome. This morning I was running gnome-shell, not compiz/unity, and got
gnome-shell using 100% cpu. I ran dstack.sh 5 times for gnome-shell, and
definitely got the spike. Every time the spike seemed to have ended,
when I started using Google Chrome Browser again, the spike started
again.

So, I ran dstack.sh a several more times. Finally, I had to killall
gnome-shell and run gnome-shell again. Last night when I was having a
different problem with gnome-shell, I tried mutter --replace, but to my
surprise, mutter --replace doesn't work with gnome-shell because I
didn't have mutter installed! So, does that mean gnome-shell was using
compiz? Last night, when I was worried that gnome-shell was running
under compiz somehow, I found instructions on the internet to find out
what window manager was being used and the result was "Mutter" with a
capital "M", but "Mutter --replace" also didn't work since "Mutter"
wasn't installed either. So, I installed mutter, but mutter --replace
doesn't work because it doesn't load gnome-shell, and same thing happens
with compiz --replace.

Anyway, whatever gnome-shell is running under, the 100% CPU problem
happens with it just as it did with compiz/unity. I'm attaching
gnomestack.txt hoping someone will figure out what package really has a
bug in it.
