Hi guys, thought you might like to know we've developed a workaround and hope to get it included in the beta release. If it doesn't make it in time for the beta it'll be in the repos right after the beta release.

If you want to test it now you can go to http://people.ubuntu.com/~amaranth/compiz/ then download and install the two .deb files there. You'll still have to go into System->Preferences->CompizConfig Settings Manager and uncheck Unredirect Fullscreen Windows in General Options since the previous 'fix' enabled this option for you. Once you have it installed reload compiz (run `compiz &` in a terminal) and try to go to the Guest Session in the user switcher (should be up by your clock). If the patch is working correctly you'll see your screensaver when you log out of the guest session instead of a white screen.

If you test this please comment here to let me know how it worked for you.
