compiz crashed with SIGABRT in raise()

[Victor Costan]

The symptoms for this bug have been happening over the past few days, but this is the first time I got prompted to file a bug report.

Symptoms: while I'm working, the screen freezes for a few seconds, then compiz is restarted (all windows disappear for a bit, then they reappear with ugly borders, and quickly afterwards the windows become themed again).
