Running Ubuntu MATE 15.10 with Compiz enabled.  The X-server apparently
crashes every time Stellarium is run.  The crash is not immediate, I can
pan and zoom the sky with no problems.  The crash seems to occur as soon
as I try to interact with the menus -- or if I close Stellarium.  In
this state, all visible GUI elements are frozen except for the mouse
cursor.

The system is not completely dead -- I can still switch to a console
with Ctrl-Alt-F1, and can still restart the X-server with Ctrl-
Backspace.

There is no problem if Compiz is disabled.  Also, I have run several
other full-screen 3D games and apps with no similar problems.  My
machine has NVIDIA, but I believe it is using Intel (Broadwell)
Graphics.  This error post was helpful for me because it reminded me to
try without Compiz.
