Public bug reported:

What I was doing while it happened:  Taking a screenshot using default
application, alt + prnt scrn, of a libreoffice drawing.

Mouse responsive, system still functional.  Able to switch to TTY 6 and
killall compiz, which then automatically respawned.  Sometimes it
doesn't automatically respawn, at which point I need to restart the
system, which causes me to lose work.

Compiz freezes during other activities, but this is the first freeze
I've reported.  I can't pin down a specific behavioral trigger, other
than it freezes very definitively upon user input (e.g., clicking a
button in a dialogue box, taking a screenshot, switching desktop
workspaces, etc).

This error message appeared after the killall, but it might just be a
reflection of the killall:
