After a bit more testing it appears that this might be a problem with Emerald, and not Compiz, because I've used Compiz with Metacity and had no more problems since yesterday....
i think i have the same problem. When i use emerald, system freezes in about 1 min. after startup. even mouse doesn't move. and i don't get any errors. but when i use gtk-window-decorator there is no problem. i am not sure that this is the right place to post this issue but sorry this is my first bug report. by the way i am using gutsy with latest updates and ati x500
