After upgrading from Hardy to Intrepid (kernel 2.6.27-7-generic), "Alt+F2 > compiz --replace" and/or going to System > Preferences > Appearance > Visual Effects and changing from "None" to "Normal" (I did not even try "Extra" yet) results immediately in plain desktop background view, the open window(s) and panels disappearing. No key combination (Ctrl+Alt+Backspace, Ctrl+Alt+Del, Ctrl+Alt+F3, etc. etc.) has any effect, so I have to do hard reboot. I have tried this three times after having upgraded yesterday from Hardy on my desktop PC,* and each time the result is the same, i.e. need to hard-reboot.

I have had Intrepid on my laptop (Acer TravelMate 2354, with recent RAM upgrade from 256 to 768 MB) for several weeks now with no such problems, but upgrading to Intrepid on this desktop machine* was not as successful.
