Thank you Bryce for giving this bug some attention. My experience with system level coding tells me the problem smacks of a race condition when switching desktops. I've turned off compiz and have run the system for 11 days non-stop with screen locking and full-screen windows all over the place.

Compiz must be exacerbating the race condition by slowing things down with the animations. Same thing with heavy loads like OpenGL (especially with the low frame-rate witnessed on hardy).
