Hey Raffaele,

Looks like we are doing a normal exit on an abnormal condition. Could you install compiz-dbgsym as stated in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProgramCrash and then drop to a VT and do something like:

DISPLAY=:0 gdb compiz
break exit
run --replace ccp
bt
bt full
quit

DISPLAY=:0 metacity --replace &

This will tell us if some stupid plugin is calling exit () when it shouldn't be or if there is a problem in the mainloop. Cheers.
