[Matt Price <matt.price@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

In a previous post i asserted that turning off gnome-screensaver stops 
these crashes from happening.  This turns out not to be the case.  
Unfortunately, I am having trouble capturing an xtrace of the crash -- 
it almost seems as if xtrace itself somehow protects the driver from the 
crash! -- anyway, I'm finding that I can sometimes recover from the 
crash by switching to VT1 and running

DISPLAY=:0 unity
DISPLAY=:0  xtrace compiz --replace > ~/trace.txt

But usually I'll end up with some problems, like all window management 
being switched off so that it seems as though compiz isn't running at 
all.  And sometimes this attempt at recovery will fail almost 
completely, in that I just end up with an unchanging image of my desktop 
wallpaper (sometimes the active windows will flash briefly when I switch 
to VT7, then disappear behind the wallpaper.   I'm really not sure what 
the next steps in diagnosis are, htough I'll keep trying to capture an 
xtrace.  This is on a Lenovo Thikpad T410, wiht intel graphics & (of 
course) the i965 driver.

Thanks all!
