Bug Description

Binary package hint: compiz

Hi,

Using Ubuntu Jaunty (fresh install from alpha 4) up-to-date as of 9 Feb, with :
* compiz 1:0.7.8-0ubuntu9
* xserver-xorg 1:7.4~5ubuntu12
* nvidia-glx-180 180.27-0ubuntu1
* A nVidia 8600M GT on a Dell Vostro 1500

When my session starts, or when I try to start compiz during a session, the screen gets stuck on the wallpaper. If I look at "top", Xorg and compiz both take the whole CPU usage (total 100%). If I kill compiz (so falling back to metacity), the session starts (or resumes) normally.
