[Bug 1555237] Re: Upgrade from 14.04.4→ 16.04 dies midway taking out the session.

[Will Cooke]

I disabled the screensaver in my tests, and it still crashed - just
later on.

I SSH'd in to the box and ran compiz like this:

$ DISPLAY=:0 compiz --replace --debug

and then started the upgrade (with the screensaver disabled).  This is
the error I got:

XIO:  fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server ":0"
      after 24793 requests (24793 known processed) with 1 events remaining.


Trevinho suggested compiling Compiz with more debugging and trying that.  Assigned to Eleni for more testing.
