Comment 28 for bug 185600

I switched over to Fedora for awhile then went back to Ubuntu ~6 months ago and this problem has popped back up again (currently still using 10.04). Very frustrating, because as my post from 2 years ago suggests, I somehow fixed the problem on that old install. Now however, I cannot figure out how I fixed it. Force sync between X and glx isn't doing it, so it must have been something else I did back then inadvertantly.

It looks like it is just a bug for people who have Nvidia cards. If other subscribers want to try and get this bug off the ground I am game to participate in some more troubleshooting and group brainstorming.

I have noticed that not all windows lock up, and the suggestion above that only modified documents lock up sounds like a very likely explanation. I remember seeing a bug somewhere about openoffice locking up after a resume when it tries an autosave, maybe this is a related bug. Doesn't make sense why whether the document is modified or unmodified would matter if the problem is with compiz... very strange.

Well for now I am going to try the restart compiz on resume script as a workaround. I agree that this is a really silly bug to be unsolved after 2 years, especially when I could have sworn I fixed the problem once upon a time!
