Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnome-control-center

I use the nvidia drivers from the repository (version 195.36.15).

After I set the compiz effects from None to Normal, compiz starts and this confirmation window appears where I can choose to Keep The Settings. After I click this button the window freezes.

Attached are the last 100 lines of a "strace gnome-appearance-properties"
