** Description changed:

  After upgrading from 12.04 to 12.10, I found that once logged in, I can
  move the mouse around and items highlight as I mouseover them, as well
  as the launcher seeming to respond appropriately too. Upon first click,
  however (whether it be on the launcher, taskbar, or even a right-click
  on the desktop) compiz or unity (inextricably linked now?) hangs. The
  mouse pointer can be moved about freely, but otherwise no further action
  is possible.
  
  It occured to me that perhaps the issue was related to some sort of
  configuration issue - maybe leftover bits from 12.04 confusing 12.10. I
  tried the guest login, and everything worked flawlessly, possibly
  confirming my suspicion.
  
  My next step was to delete .compiz/session from my home directory. Upon
  reboot, everything worked fine again. Problem solved? Apparently not -
  upon next boot, it hangs again as before. I also find that
  .compiz/session has been re-created. Deleting it via a terminal session
  then allowed me to reboot to a working desktop, but only once unless I
  first delete the contents of .compiz/session
  
  Workaround: As a workaround, I've added a line to /etc/rc.local to delete the contents of .compiz/session at boot time:
-      rm /home/my_username/.compiz/session/*
+      rm /home/my_username/.compiz/session/*

Title:
  Compiz hangs at first click anywhere on desktop - can work around by
