I get the feeling that it has to do with monitor switch/resolution
switch between sessions.

Example:
I use the work account at the office with 2 lowres screens via a thunderbolt dock.
When I'm done for the day, I lock the screen and put the computer to sleep.

When I arrive at home, I have some private tasks to do so I open my
laptop without any dock and login on my private account. My laptop is
Dell XPS13 with hires screen. It works fine. When I'm done I lock the
screen and put the computer to sleep.

Back at work: I connect my computer to the dock with the two lowres
screens and I login to the work account. I get the login screen again.
My work session was killed.

TLDR;
Login to session 1 with 2 lowres screens.
Lock screen + sleep
Login to other session 2 with laptop screen (hires).
Lock screen + sleep
Login to session 1 with 2 lowres screens. Crash.

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.
