I can reproduce this since 14.04 (I described it on a bug to another problem: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity-settings- daemon/+bug/1310745/comments/1 ).

This is very similar to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/compiz/+bug/772612 but happening now in Trusty. This seems to happen after compiz somehow restarts spontaneously... I am conscious this is not a very usable bug report, but I have seen this happening 3 or 4 times in the last 2 days on my system, so I though it was worth reporting...
