Title:
  compiz periodically runs away with memory consumption

Status in compiz package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  On an approximately daily basis, compiz will sudenly start eating
  memory at a very fast rate until my system becomes unresponsive.
  Sometimes I am able to escape to run-level "1" and send SIGKILL to
  compiz, but often my system is swapping so hard it will take > 10
  minutes get to a shell. The necessary reboots are a rather big pain
  (especially when my auto-save is @ 4:59 MM:SS out of 5:00 and I was
  hammering code for the last four minutes).

  I have tried monitoring the memory usage and I have seen it growing
  rather slowly from ~ 80MB at bootup to 100MB after some hours, but
  then it will suddenly jump to GB's; I have never noticed it climbing
  until my system freezes up, and I have not been able to find a trigger
  for it.

  Any help would be great. Right now I don't trust starting any work on
  my home desktop ...
