Bug Description
I have had compiz (which I am running with "compiz --replace" as a command after login to my Gnome 3 fallback session) crash on me a couple of times. It usually happens after switching workspace with ctrl+alt+arrow_key. The syslog says:
"Dec 16 15:12:59 rasmus-
Dec 16 15:12:59 rasmus-
I am now using the Gnome fallback session without launching compiz separately. The same problem also happens saying that "gnome-wm" is crashing too quickly.
After the crash, I can't switch workspace anymore and window decorations and the gnome panel are missing. I can go into a tty prompt, kill all gnome-panel and decorator-related processes in htop and then start metacity with "metacity --replace --display=:0" to get back to a usable desktop.
I am wondering if it is perhaps related to a similar crash when using Unity, but that results in a completely noninteractive desktop: https:/

In a similar way, also in the standard Gnome3 desktop (not in fallback mode), the whole shell intermittently crashes when workspaces are switched.
