Hello

I do not have the detailed information handy that you have but the crash I
had was also with compiz-real. It followed the update of the compiz programs
on my Hardy Heron beta i386 system. I am using the Linux 2.6.24-16-generic
i686 kernel with Intel 915 graphics system on my motherboard. I was able to
get a usable desktop using Gnome-failsafe. I tried a few measures that did
not work, however when I did a complete reinstall of all the compiz packages
I was using my system was up and running properly again. It is now several
days and everything is running fine.
