compiz crashed with SIGFPE in StaticSwitchScreen::getWindowPosition()

[Deon Rodden]

Not even sure what I did to trigger this but I know after this mornings updates the ATI Proprietary driver completely failed to load and I was forced to revert to the generic open source driver and ever since that things have been crashing left and right.
