Package: compiz
Version: 0.6.3~git20080115.0ea58487-1
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks the whole system

Hello,

when /usr/lib/xscreensaver/interaggregate was started,
the local console with gnome session became unusable.
>From a remote ssh session I saw, that all memory (1 GB RAM + 1.4 GB swap)
were occupied.
Also all of the CPU time were in use (mostly by xorg and compiz.real).
So the computer was very busy with swapping and therefore it was
difficult and timeconsuming to kill the interaggregate process.

On the first view I thought that this is a problem of interaggregate,
and reported it as bug #478813.
But then I have started interaggreagate to reproduce the problem again.
It seems to me that it is related to compiz: If compiz doesn't run,
everything is fine.

But with compiz there are also other screensavers which cause the
problem, e.g. whirlwindwarp.

Next point: It doesn't seem to help always to kill the screensaver process,
but killing compiz.real leads to a usable system again.


Greetings
	Juergen

hi,

unfortunately everyone (upstream included) was stumped on this one, so we had 
to fix it the ugly way and added a conflicts against the relevant extra 
package :(
