Public bug reported:

All of a sudden, compiz went completely berserk.

All basic window functionality related to mouse clicks stopped working:
- I could not close a window by clicking on its close button (you could see the 
button being pressed, but it wouldn't close the window)
- I could not move a window by clicking on its title bar and dragging
- I could not give focus to a window by clicking on it.

At first I thought the system had become unresponsive due to some process 
eating much CPU (discarded that running top) or eating much memory hence 
causing thrashing.
But then I realized the system was not unresponsive at all.

I could switch windows seamlessly using alt+tab.
Once focused, each and every application responded well to keyboard.

I killed some processes that I wrongly though may be hanging the system:
Google Chrome, Nautilus, Thunderbird... nothing fixed the issue.

Finally I realized it was purely a window interaction thing, so I killed
compiz (which caused it to restart) and the issue was fixed.

The last thing I had done at the moment when the issue started, was
double clicking on an svg file in Nautilus to open it in eog. During all
the time the issue lasted, the file never even opened in eog, and there
was not even any eog process running.

 (it was a pretty big svg file, but I have been opening it in svg
thousands of times in these days).
