Bug Description
After upgrading from 11.10 to 12.04 the workspace switcher causes graphical corruption and/or the system to hang. All screens are white. If it can be recovered from and a new workspace is selected, there are NVRM Xid error messages in dmesg and errors in .xsession-log

I have downgraded the nvidia driver from 295.40 to 295.33 as .40 has known issues (although, not with the Quadro FX 1800 card I am using with this system).
(I have also just enabled the ubuntu-proposed channel to see if the 5.12 update to unity and other compiz updates fix the bug and enabled and disabled the x-swat channel to downgrade the nvidia driver)

I deleted my compiz settings to have them replaced by defaults and everything is working as expected now. The bug can probably be closed, although it would be nice to know the cause of the issues.
