Any idea where the problem could be? I kind of suspect Compiz, but since
I can't disable Compiz I don't know. And if I don't know I can't file a

Anyone have any ideas on how to proceed?
You can log in to a text terminal and change from compiz to metacity.
gconftool-2 --set
/desktop/gnome/session/required_components/windowmanager --type string
'metacity'
You could also take a look at the xorg log and the .xsession-errors
file to see if they give you a hint.
