You have been subscribed to a public bug: I was still having some odd issues, such as freezes after compiz --replace so I installed Openbox. Freezes disappeared.
Steps to reproduce the freezes -while in a Unity desktop session cast compiz --replace in a terminal Workaround Install Openbox and attempt to re-log in, there'll be an "Openbox/Gnome" desktop option in the log-in menu. I've chosen that and there is no weirdness (missing universal App menu and missing dock) as if you were to enter openbox --replace from terminal running an Unity instance. Results Flickering issues (some?, all?) are gone, as when I run straight Openbox. No crashes to tell of after a day's worth of operation. Comment I'm not using Metacity because it produces random crashes and flickering.
