Bug Description

I'm using fully patched Lucid (but I have that bug for years).

Using the wall effect with Compiz (4*4 desktop), when I'm changing of desktop, it *sometimes* flips two lines or two colomn, or it moves all the columns by one on the left : every windows are displaced.

I do not know how to reproduce it reliably, but I got that one or two times a day.

As an example, let say that my windows A,B,C,D, E and F are on the following desktops (* are for empy desktops) :

ADF
B**
*E*

at a certain point, I got the situation

ADF
*E*
B**
(flip line 2 and 3)

or

FAD
*B*
**E
(everybody one column right)

Please feel free to ask any further informations or tests because I have no idea of what triggers.
