Bug Description
Binary package hint: compiz
I get regular crashes when I switch the window managers. For example, if I type
metacity --replace
there seems to be an OK switch to metacity, but then I type
compiz --replace
and I get the output
Checking for Xgl: not present.
Detected PCI ID for VGA: 00:02.0 0300: 8086:2a02 (rev 03) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])
Checking for texture_

After which the system is extremely unstable. Almost anything thereafter leads to a complete crash of the system and not even Ctrl+Alt+Del helps (even though the Radio kept playing!).
Btw, I have Hardy 8.04 and Gnome 2.22.3.
