Bug description:
  Binary package hint: compiz

  When I try to log into the Natty classic desktop (with effects turned
  on), it looks very much like compiz is repeatedly crashing. I see the
  desktop background for around a second, then some windows (without
  decorations) for a second, then the desktop, etc. The keyboard is
  unresponsive during this time except that I can get a tty console.
  This continues for 10-20 iterations and then X locks up completely (no
  mouse, and I can't get a tty console).

  If I log in to 'classic desktop with no effects' mode and then run
  compiz as root (sudo compiz), it runs fine.

  If I run compiz without root privileges, compiz crashes (see attached
  crash log).

  I can run compiz in another user profile without issues - it only
  crashes in my normal user profile, which is shared with Maverick, ie
  compiz 0.8.

  The problem is that if I enable KDE compatibility, compiz crashes at
  startup. This might be because I have dockbarx installed and it uses
  the KDE compatibility plugin - compiz doesn't crash in unity with the
  KDE compat plugin enabled.

  There are two issues here: the KDE plugin shouldn't crash compiz; but
  if compiz does crash repeatedly during initialisation, it should stop
  trying to run and Ubuntu should fallback to some safe mode.
