Ubuntu 14.04 x86, 2gb ram, 1.4ghz intel celeron, fujitsu amilo li2727
laptop ( its old but lovable :p )

For anybody suffering with this I just hit it yet again and recovered
from it without needing to do any of the crash or kill techniques
described above.

i was trying the ctrl+alt+[arrow keys] and it just switched the work
space but i couldnt do anything with the program i was moving that stick
across work spaces not close the switcher. so i thought.

ctrl+alt+L is what worked for me, managed to close the switcher properly
and then just resized the program window and finished moving it to the
work space.

I would say this bug should be fixed by now. but in the mean time, i
hope that helps.

Bug description:
  I'm assuming the issue is related to Compiz, but I'm not 100% sure.
  When I'm switching workspaces, it occasionally locks up (becoming more
  frequent). Most of the time, I'm going from the current one down
  (Ctrl+Alt+Down Arrow), and it freezes mid slide. Typically, I'm able
  to correct things by backing out to a terminal then returning
  (Ctrl+Alt+F1, pause, Alt+F7), but sometimes when I return the dual
  screen setup acts as one large screen (windows are stretched to the
  full width of both screens) and many of the windows collect on the
  first workspace.

  
  Ubuntu 11.04 (Classic)
  All packages up-to-date.

  If there are any logs/etc that would be helpful, let me know.
