Things took a bad turn somewhere, now using compiz the entire system
hangs if I look at it wrong. Even after I downgraded Mesa.. very scary
indeed.

I have no idea what causes this and it's not like I can grab a backtrace
easily as it locks up the machine in the really bad cases or locks up X
in the mild cases.. I have no idea what caused it but I have a feeling I
was involved.
