Title:
  compiz lockup when installing with software-center

Status in software-center package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  when using software center to install an app, the screen locks up, but
  the system responds to mouse and keyboard input.

  scenario1
  1 open dash>applications lens
  2 right-click a not-installed app to open preview
  3 click the downlaod button
  4 type password, press enter

  result
  5 password dialogue doesn't close, but flickers.
  6 screen is frozen nothing responds to mouse hover.
  7 i can press ALT+F2 and type 'xkill' and press ENTER  blindly. the cursor changes to an x
  8 i click unity panel, and compiz restarts.
  9 the app has or has not been installed. ymmv

  scenario2
  1 start Software-center
  2 choose app and click install
  3 type password and press enter
  4 software center installs the app, but freezes at the end.
  5 the process icon flickers, and the screen locks up like above.

  in both cases only killing compiz unfreezes the desktop.
