Bug description:
  Binary package hint: unity

  I had mplayer running fine, I hit f to make it fullscreen, the whole
  desktop froze. No fullscreen mplayer, mplayer sound started to loop,
  no X events possible (mouse and keyboard).

  I sshed in from another box, top showed Xorg at 100%.

  X logs showed:

  ..showing "something" was stuck in a loop doing X calls.

  My most likely candidates were mplayer (using vdpau), compiz and
  chromium (now that it uses the GPU).

  I started by killing mplayer: no change. X was still frozen and taking all the CPU. 
  The display wasn't even refreshed, still showing mplayer while it was gone.

  I next killed compiz, it re-spun and went to 100%, letting X at ~ 40%.
  Desktop was still unusable. Closing the other apps (chromium, evolution, xterms,..) didn't help.
  X even went back to 100%.

  I re-killed compiz, and finally, everything went back to normal.

  So it seems compiz is to blame.

  It already happened to me twice this week. It never happened before so it may be caused by something in the recent uploads
  (compiz, unity, ...)
