Due to differences in hardware, symptoms, steps to reproduce, and so on, I'm not convinced everyone is seeing exactly the same bug. Symptoms for different freeze bugs are often indistinguishable.

So, I'm going to undupe zwaldowski's bug; it should be handled as a separate bug.

I also want to isolate the "freeze after activating compiz" from freezes after other activities. Given that they're appearing on the same hardware, yes it could be the same underlying bug, but the differences in reproducing the error just muddies the water. And it would not be at all unusual to have two or more freeze bugs on the same hardware. So I think it will be easier to handle each of the freeze scenarios as a different bug. If nothing else, it gives us test cases to check when we do think we have a solution.

I will update this bug to focus only on one freeze scenario, on one specific intel chip. Other scenarios and other hardware need new bugs filed on them.
