** Tags added: apport-collected compiz-0.9 trusty ubuntu

** Description changed:

  I run a little taskbar app called tint2. I boot it at startup, but about
  50% of the time it isn't visible after booting. The other 50% it is. So
  I can reboot or logout/login until it sticks. At first I thought it was
  a bug in tint2, but now I have found that I don't get this issues when I
  run the AMD proprietary driver (fglrx). So I think it might be a problem
  in the xserver-xorg-video-ati driver. I have a Radeon HD 8600M series in
  a Lenovo S540.
  
  Additional note: when it does not display and I power off the computer,
  it is displayed for a brief moment before the computer shuts down. That
  makes me think that it is actually a display problem, not a problem of
  tint2 not booting at all.
  
  If this is unlikely to be caused by the xserver-xorg-video-ati driver, I
  apologize for reporting it here. If you need additional information,
  please let me know, I will be happy to provide.

Title:
  tint2 taskbar boots irregularly with xserver-xorg-video-ati, boots
  fine with proprietary driver

  Incomplete

  about 50% of the time it isn't visible after booting. The other 50% it
