Title:
  unity crashes on login, compiz cpu and memory intensive

Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Recent upgrade and reboot/re-login left me with a generally unusable compiz/unity.
  On login, the desktop icons move back and forth several times, I believe this correlates with ~/.xesssion-errors 'unity main process ended' messages like:

  upstart: gnome-keyring main process (7364) killed by TERM signal
  upstart: at-spi2-registryd main process ended, respawning
  upstart: at-spi2-registryd main process ended, respawning
  upstart: at-spi2-registryd main process ended, respawning
  upstart: at-spi2-registryd main process ended, respawning

  upstart: at-spi2-registryd main process ended, respawning
  upstart: at-spi2-registryd main process ended, respawning
  upstart: at-spi2-registryd main process ended, respawning
  upstart: at-spi2-registryd main process ended, respawning
  upstart: at-spi2-registryd respawning too fast, stopped
  upstart: unity7 main process (7477) terminated with status 1
  upstart: unity7 main process ended, respawning
  upstart: unity7 main process (7910) terminated with status 1
  upstart: unity7 main process ended, respawning
  upstart: unity7 main process (7939) terminated with status 1

  Then after login unity/compiz is basically unusable.
  compiz has

  top shows compiz eating anywhere from 40 to 80% cpu, and having 300M resident memory.  Additionally, Xorg is sitting 5-20% while I'm typing this in firefox.  The only application I have open at the moment is gnome-terminal and firefox.

  My previous attempt to use chromium left its window un-resizable.
