Comment 0 for bug 1036490

My session on vt7 had been hidden, while a second user session had been running on vt8. The second user logged out, and the display came back to my session, showing LDM with 'click to log in'. I clicked, and on return to my session, compiz crashed. It restarted automatically, with my applications still running and apport popped up.

Firefox windows were visually corrupted, I had to quit the app. I can't try to reproduce this right now, but hope to have a chance soon. Thanks.
