Recently, possibly since upgrading to Maverick, possibly a bit after that, I've been plagued with compiz crashes that leave my desktop in a sorry Window decorator-less state.

I've re-enabled ctrl-alt-backspace to restart the X-server because it makes the computer quite unusable. Anyone else struggling with this? any ideas?

As far as I can tell everything is absolutely up to date
Usually happens while I'm browsing internet, I close Chromium and discover compiz is gone.
Google is very unhelpful.
 
Yes, I have since the upgrade to 10.04.

But mine happens randomly and only after starting PC up after a restart or clean start.

I logout and login again and its working.

Are you using docky as well?

I must say I disabled docky and now using the panel again since last week and I haven't noticed the problem again, although early to say.

I have a hunch that it could be a config somewhere and would really like to start desktop decoration settings on clean slate.
 
strange, im using one of the docks also- cant remember which one though and if I enable wallpapers on compiz it doesnt repaint the screen.... so if I move a window it paints multiple copies across the desktop
