Hi all!
I'm experiencing a weird behaviour with compiz. When I try to switch to another vt my whole X session crashes, causing a gdm restart. I've narrowed it down and realized that this only happens if both compiz and conky are running, if one of the 2 is disabled, this doesn't happen, so I'm guessing this is a compiz issue...
Searched the compiz forums and can't seem to find anyone reporting a similar behaviour, am I doing something wrong?
Also tried different compiz startup options and nvidia-drivers versions with no success. I can't get any relevant info from the log files, except that Xorg died for no reason.
Apart from this particular problem and some occasional gtk-window-decorator crashes, compiz is running smoothly.
And yes, I really need conky, not a big fan of mac and vista like widgets :)
GPU nVidia GeForce Go 7900 GS
Running gentoo tuxonice-2.6.24-r3, compiz 0.6.2-r1, compiz-fusion 0.6.0, nvidia-drivers 169-12, xorg-x11 7.2, xorg-server 1.3 and xfce, all from gentoo portage.
compiz startup args
--replace --sm-disable --loose-binding --indirect-rendering ccp
but, like I said, same behaviour with only --replace ccp

As anyone experienced a similar problem?
Please let me know if more info is needed.
Any help appreciated :)
Best regards
