Bug Description
Sometimes it occurs that my Unity session crashes just like that - no window decorations, no panel, but whatever was going on in the background continues, like music playback. Problem is though it cannot be restarted, since the option to kill the X server has been removed from 14.04.
I did only minor alterations to Compiz, eg. bound the zoom function to mouse buttons, added hotspots for expose to screen corners, changed the number of screens from the default 4 to 6 (+2 vertical), fade effects of windows, changed the drag button from ALT to Super,
yet it keeps freezing/
