** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: compiz
  
  Since the last version, compiz randomly freezes X (only mouse cursor is
  alive). System remains operational (I was watching a movie once when
  that happened - I could hear it going on), but you can't even switch to
  console. This happens randomly, but very often when something 3D is
  happening. When I turn off desktop effects, there is no such freeze,
  even when playing 3D games for a long time.
  
  Hardware: GeForce 8600 GT (rev a1), driver: nvidia-glx-new (Ubuntu
  package)
+ 
+ How to recover without hard reset:
+ Press Alt+SysReq+R to get the keyboard working again
+ CTRL+ALT+F1 to switch to console
+ pkill -9 compiz.real
+ will cause your X Server to restart.
+ All open apps will be killed, unsaved data will be lost!
