Comment 2 for bug 128383

Defining "fail gracefully" could be challenging. For me, I don't have any other task list, so if I need to disable compositing temporarily, it is useful to still have it there to switch tasks, even if it doesn't look at greatest. Otherwise I would have to add a new panel to Gnome and add a Task List, then remove it later.

For users who permanently can't use it, I guess I see where this might be annoying, but then why are they running it?
