Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: compiz-fusion-plugins-extra
I have a Dell XPS M1710 laptop with an NVIDIA GeForce Go 7900 GS running
mostly Gutsy, but with the Kernel/Compiz/X/NVIDIA packages installed
from Hardy.
If I enable the Group and Tab Windows plugin and create more than one
group, then the desktop will hang the next time that I do certain
actions. For example, switching workspaces triggers it, as does
switching windows with the Shift Switcher. It does not happen if I
create only one group. The hang is characterized by:
- No updates to the screen
- No response to key presses or mouse clicks (though the pointer still moves
and Ctrl+Alt+Fn still works for switching virtual terminals)
- compiz.real and Xorg run hot (i.e., take ~20-30% CPU each on my machine)
- compiz.real does not respond to kill -15 and must be kill -9'ed
- After killing compiz.real, Xorg takes 100% CPU and must be killed too
