Ah, I grabbed the wrong thing from /var/log/messages. I zapped X again and hit the problem. This time, there was no message about compiz crashing; instead the only message was:

Feb 24 15:18:30 fridge bonobo-activation-server (reubenf-9075): could not associate with desktop session: Failed to connect to socket /tmp/dbus-21KoScej9t: Connection refused

So I looked back to the earlier occasion on which I got stuck, and sure enough:

Feb 24 13:17:42 fridge bonobo-activation-server (reubenf-23344): could not associate with desktop session: Failed to connect to socket /tmp/dbus-bSazBlS28S: Connection refused

So, this seems to be the cause. FWIW this time I was able to zap X a couple of times and get a session that is responsive; I wonder if I couldn't earlier because of the dead compiz on top of the bonobo issue.

Xorg from bonobo-detached X attached.
