Public bug reported:

Please note that for the next paragraph, I will use "desktop" to refer
to all open windows.

At rare, seemingly random points when I am using the system, the desktop
will look like it is "freaking out". Next it will bring 'random' windows
to the front, then the screen goes blank, then I see my background, then
all windows are back in another order.

A quick google search returned no obvious copies of this problem,
although I did check my .xsession-errors and found the following
interesting lines:

gnome-session[1532]: WARNING: Application 'compiz.desktop' killed by signal
gnome-session[1532]: WARNING: App 'compiz.desktop' respawning too quickly
gnome-session[1532]: CRITICAL: We failed, but the fail whale is dead. Sorry....

Followed by a bunch of "initializing" messages. I'm pretty sure that's
where the crash happened.

Please disregard any and all assumptions I have made if necessary.
