Comment 174 for bug 1068994

I got this bug on my laptop running 13.04 (BTW I think bug #946417 is a duplicate of this one). It causes the touchscreen to not work after several clicks.

I tried running the X from x-staging PPA (add-apt-repository ...; apt-get update; apt-get dist-upgrade; service lightdm restart). After I login, the screen shows a background for some seconds and then a blank screen. ~/.xsession-errors shows these lines:

[several lines about loading/starting plugins...]
compiz (core) - Info: Loading plugin: unityshell
gnome-session[2238]: WARNING: Child process 2352 was already dead.
gnome-session[2238]: WARNING: Application 'compiz.desktop' killed by signal 11
gnome-session[2238]: WARNING: App 'compiz.desktop' respawning too quickly
gnome-session[2238]: CRITICAL: We failed, but the fail whale is dead. Sorry....

Do I need to use any other PPA to avoid the compiz crash?
