Bug Description
I left a computer on for a night. In the morning I couldn't log in normally. I could open a virtual console (Ctrl+Alt+F1) and slowly type in commands. The system was mostly idle but compiz had expanded to take over 3GB of my 4GB, causing swapping.
I used ubuntu-bug to save a problem report file, but I'm not sure where to find it or how to attach it here.
