Binary package hint: compiz
As discussed in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/compiz/+bug/760161/comments/4 it can happen, under uncertain circumstances, that compiz --replace will replace the running window manager but still leave behind the old one (still actively leaking memory in my case).

Keeping it on track for future, not something we can fix for natty though (and only concerns if something is going wrong and the user has to manually call compiz --replace or relaunch unity) as the main case (respawn by gdm-session) is done after a crash.
