Bug Description
Binary package hint: compiz
After having updated nvidia+xorg, whenever I try to log into the session, either using Unity or the Classic deskop session with effects, the UI remains frozen.
By frozen I mean I get either a static picture of the desktop, a black screen or a blank one, but I can still move the mouse cursor. Restarting compiz or unity does not make a difference.
The only workaround seems to be to log back in using the Classic desktop (No effects) session.

Any hints on how to debug this? Or any tips for a workaround?
Right now this prevents me from using Unity and I have to resort to the Classic Desktop with no effects.
Thanks.
