(Get the code!)
deleted .xsession-errors, rebooted and turned on compiz, then tried to duplicate this issue.
1. Started Firefox and Rhythmbox with both windows maximized
2. From Rhythmbox, pressed alt-tab. Success, able to flip back and forth between images of rhythmbox and firefox windows
3. Minimized all windows so desktop visible. Pressed alt-tab.
HANG. Everything frozen except mouse. Ctrl-Alt-Backspace unresponsive. All applets, menus, programs frozen. No life outside the mouse cursor. Hard reset of computer and reboot. This is what always happens. It happens at other times too, at least once a day, making compiz nearly unusable for me. Sometimes it seems to hang just 'cuz, when I'm doing nothing in particular except maybe changing a tab in firefox or activating some windows.
Good Luck!
~/.xsessions-errors file does not exists, I assume because no errors were written since I rebooted. That would mean the hard-hang doesn't result in an error being written.
