Same thing happens to me as well. No WM, can't type into Alt+F2, but use
synaptics instead. Don't know if this is relevant but t is started
happening after I installed Sound Juicer through Ubuntu software center.
And I agree, this is quite a problematic bug, should be high priority!

It should have improved in 11.10 (oneiric): the session isn't saved by

I know does remove your configuration setup.
Before you log in, try the following:

2. log in with your user name and password
3.
I did the upgrade more than a month ago and this xfwm4 issue just

majority of them have nothing to do with the issue.
