Bug Description

my screen had no bar on the top nor on the left which crippled my usage of the system, as there was no pull down menus for the app nor was there any icons down the left side. I thought a reboot may assist (shouldnt need to but....) and when I typed ctrl alt del the message that compiz had crasked came up and the bar on the top and on the left also re-appeared.....i know its a beta but with the many problems I have seen its concerning you only have a couple of weeks to fix all this stuff.... good luck
