Huh, just now I hit some *other* kind of limit before file-nr was even halfway to file-max just now. I guess it was ENOSPC instead of ENFILE?

Basically the exact symptoms described Bug 44185 -- with the addition that compiz coincidentally(?) crashed (bug 46303) while everything was screwing up, which made window decorations disappear as usual--but once it automatically restarted, I was left staring at my desktop background with nothing else showing, all windows / the mouse had disappeared.

The numbers don't *seem* that different--I'm pretty sure it's gone past 1.6GB before, so no idea why it hit ENOSPC this time, and that one time weeks ago, and not the dozens of other times in between?
