Comment 47 for bug 815996

I have switched to XFCE to get rid of the crashes that I experienced in both Unity and Gnome 3, and the freeze in Unity. However, I logged in to unity just now, and tried to switch workspaces several times. No freeze, and much snappier than before.

However, I think my test was too short to actually be sure that the bug has been fixed. It usually was possible to work for at least an hour before the freeze happened.
