Bug Description

machine had been idle, screen was locked.

I returned, logged in and started working with Firefox browser; Compiz crashed and the error dialog offered to report a bug.

Apart from the error message and subsequent dialog I saw no evidence of compiz having crashed - no black screens or other visual garbage. Not sure if there really was a crash to report.
