Bug Description
Binary package hint: compiz
For about the last week, I have often come back to my machine after leaving it for some time (screensaver has kicked in -- even perhaps the powersaving on the monitor has kicked in) and I find that my GNOME desktop has fallen back on the non-accellerated window manager. Running compiz --replace restarts the window manager and I can carry on as per usual.
I've never actually witnessed the crash -- I'm just assuming the crash since I leave the machine with compiz running and come back to no compiz.
This problem only started to manifest in the last week or so -- about the amount of time since the last kernel update.
I'm running NVIDIA 195 drivers (I have a GTX260 which doesn't seem to like the default 185 drivers: machine locks up a lot with that config, especially if I run a GL-enabled app (ie, game) in Compiz). The 190 drivers were working well for me, but I tried updating to the 195 drivers to see if that was the issue -- the compiz crashes continue however. I would appreciate any ideas on where to gather more information to make this report more useful.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. However, your crash report is either missing or challenging to deal with as a ".crash" file. Please follow these instructions to have apport report a new bug about your crash that can be dealt with by the automatic retracer.
If you are running the Ubuntu Stable Release you might need to enable apport in /etc/default/apport and restart.
Now open your file manager, navigate to your /var/crash directory and open the crash report you wish to submit.If this fails you will have to open a terminal and file your report with 'ubuntu-bug /var/crash/
I'm closing this bug report since the process outlined above will automatically open a new bug report which can then dealt with more efficiently. Thanks in advance for your cooperation and understanding.
