Consumes a lot of CPU after login

[Marius B. Kotsbak]

After login, the system is almost not responsible because compiz is using 100% CPU.

Please:
1. Copy the attached script to your home directory
2. Open a terminal (Ctrl+Alt+T)
3. Run: sudo sh dstack compiz >> compizcpu.txt
4. Repeat #3 many times.
5. Attach "compizcpu.txt" to this bug.

Thanks.

I am doing that now. But I think anyway this problem has disappeared with the latest updates. I think maybe the Open GL acceleration was not used before.

[Marius B. Kotsbak (mariusko)]

It seems this and crash at login has been fixed with the latest Quantal updates.

[Daniel van Vugt (vanvugt)]

Incomplete... since we're not really sure what the fix was.
