gtk-window-decorator crashed with SIGABRT in raise()

[Mark Rooney]

While using Firefox to browse the web the screen flickered a few times then went black. When it came back on after a few seconds I was at the login screen again, when I logged in a dialogue box opened to say compiz had crashed and needed to be restarted.
