[Bug 304208] [NEW] periodic system freezes when using octaviz with Compiz enabled

[Bryan]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: octaviz

I am running Octave 3.0 with Octaviz. I often use vtk_mesh and vtk_surf
to render 3D graphics. Occasionally, when such a call causes a new
window to open my entire system freezes... everything. I can't restart X
with a ctrl-alt-backspace or switch to a terminal with ctrl-alt-F2, and
the courser is unresponsive. This only happens when Compiz is running. I
have an NVIDIA 8400M GS and am running with proprietary drivers. I
suspect that this is significant, since not everything has the power to
crash the entire machine and this is known to have other stability
problems (Although I personally don't experience any other problems with
stability). I would be happy to provide any debugging info that is
requested. For now I will leave my system info. I am running an HP
Pavilion dv2000 laptop with an up-to-date install of Ubuntu Intrepid. I
have an Intel Core 2 Duo T5750 at 2 GHz with 3 GB of RAM and Intel 4965
AGN Wireless (which has had a Kernel Panic issue- now resolved). Marvell
Ethernet, and all other components are Intel. Any ideas would be
appreciated. =)
