[Bug 1334716] [NEW] FATAL ERROR: Unable to initialize display

 

Public bug reported:

I went to the appearance settings by right-clicking on the desktop to
change the visibility of the launcher, have set the sensitivity, exited
after changes were made, after a few times of showing and hiding the
launcher Compiz crashed and the display couldn't be restored not even
after going into TTY and using "compiz --replace". compiz-core has shown
what appeared to be a fatal error that it was unable to initialize the
display, so the only option was to do a hard shutdown.
