After resuming from a suspend-to-ram, compiz seems to lock up or simply stop displaying the desktop. I can still see and move the mouse cursor, apparently interact the desktop (switch desktops, click on windows, the mouse cursor changes shape when moving over buttons versus text). I can not actually _see_ any of the desktop though, only a black screen aside from the mouse cursor.

I can work around this by switching to a different VT and killing all of the compiz processes. I have to kill -9 compiz.real in order to get it to stop. After that, I can switch back to X and start either compiz or metacity and once again have a working desktop with all of my applications still in place.
