Poking around a little more this is apparently caused by a lack of RAM. When starting video apps (e.g. totem) and the playing a video and resizing an X error would be received that was BadAlloc (Not enough memory).
Shutting down firefox and a couple of other apps to free up some memory made the problem disappear. However I noted that compiz and X were using a whole lot of memory themselves, so I think that compiz was leaking memory, and this is what caused the RAM shortage.
