Public bug reported:
OS: fresh install of ubuntu 11.10 amd64
netbook: lenovo x121e
I installed the compizConfig manager to customize unity.
But with following steps the whole unity crashs:
1) start compizConfig
2) go to settings (left sidebar)
3) click on profile field
The desktop freeze immediately and after some time all unity bars
vanish. Only the running programs are still visible. After some more
time the programs can be controlled again and work fine. But Unity keeps
vanished.
After a reboot you can login as usual, but you only see a menu bar at
the top of the screen. it is the menu from nautilus. with open new
window you can bring it to the front. also any other programs can
startet with opening a file, which require these.
This state can be left by erasing all config files from gnome and compiz in
your home folder. (rm -r .compiz-1 .config .gconf .gnome2)
After a reboot everything works again.
before erasing the config files I created a backup of my whole home
directory. if any config files are required I can upload them.
