Bug Description

Binary package hint: compiz

I am not sure how to search for more details, but when I would use the window+tab hotkey (using either the ringswitcher or shiftswitcher) sometimes my sceen will just go black, then I would get a glimpse of the desktop before I would be logged out. I am not sure where to look for a bug report or anything like that, sorry :S . Jaunty Jackalope 9.04 and

I just reproduced it now. I just went to "System > Preferences > CompizConfig Settings Manager", I then scrolled down and clicked the box to enable the ringswitcher. Then I just kept hitting the hotkey to use it (window+tab) over and over again. It took about three tries before I got the same results, a black screen with a __ sign blinking, then it took me back to my desktop for a brief second, then to the login page.
