Public bug reported:
I am using Gutsy Beta (everything up to date), upgraded from Feisty. I
am running on a Dell Latitude D400 which uses an intel graphics chip.
I have 'Extra' selected for the compiz settings, and I am currently
mirroring my laptop display onto an external LCD monitor, configured
from the Screens and Graphics applet rather than the built in laptop
functions. I have 4 virtual desktops configured.
When I change desktops by clicking on the the Workspace Switcher, no
problem. If I use ctrl-alt-arrowkey to switch desktops, no problem.
But when I use ctrl-alt-arrowkey to switch desktops, and THEN switch
again by clicking the Workspace Switcher, the window manager and all my
applications just vanish. I can continue to switch desktops using ctrl-
alt-arrowkey (at least I think I do... the relevant compiz eyecandy
appears on the screen.) but there is no actual window manager to speak
of.
If I switch to a console and then try to switch back, I am left with a
black screen and blinking cursor. The graphical mode is not restored.
I have to restart gdm to get back in. I can't find anything of note in
either dmesg or /var/log/messages.
