** Description changed:

  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 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.

+ Further investigation showed that compiz was failing to start.  Attempting to start it by hand shows:
+   intel_do_flush_locked failed: Invalid argument
  
- 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.
+ Those same messages appear in ~/.cache/upstart/unity7.log.
