Do you have a nvidia card? If so, which one?
And which video driver do you have? Has it been recently updated?

This looks like the driver has been changed, and it no longer supports desktop-effects, which is what has happened with the nvidia driver and some old cards

ATI 6900 XT with Ubuntu drivers - not fglrx

after compiz frozen - I can't go back on desktop - ao I restart
after restart - I see the crash-report icon on gnome-panel
there I see that was a crash on compiz.real - but I think the crash occur before restart - when my Desktop was frozen.
