Bug Description
After upgrading to 13.04, compiz crashes pretty much on a daily basis. At least once on making mplayer go full screen, and sometimes even when the computer is just left alone (possibly triggered by screensaver). Unity panels disappear as well.
I generally have a leftover undecorated terminal to try to do recovery from, but compiz won't even restart, I have to kill my session and start over from scratch (a reboot is not necessary, however). Killing the leftover decorator and *unity* and *indicator* processes had no effect in restarting attempts. Pending a solution, even a hint what needs cleaning up for a clean restart of compiz without having to exit the whole session would be welcome. IIRC I tried to start metacity once and it started, though was less than fully useful.
Here's what comes out when trying to restart it; at first it seems to think that Unity isn't hardware supported, but it is, on the radeon driver: OpenGL renderer string: Gallium 0.4 on AMD RV770. That'll get cleared up on killing the decorator.
Incidentally, the panel crash indicator asked if I want to report this but then just sat there for a while and quit without doing anything... This is manually through ubuntu-bug.

Crashed again during suspend for the night or resume (doesn't do that every time either, possibly again triggered by the screensaver, but can't be sure). Checked that my recollection on metacity being able to start properly was correct. It starts fine. compiz --replace after metacity is running still fails similarly.
Oh, by the way, the compiz output got snipped. The first attempt crashes in a bus error as the following ones do. (Väylävirhe is bus error in Finnish.)
