Comment 2 for bug 760161

I tried compiz --replace, which seemed to work (redrew all of my windows, messed up my workspaces), but resulted in two compiz processes running:

mdz 1827 1.3 18.1 2181580 557564 ? Dl Apr10 62:31 compiz
mdz 24782 2.8 0.7 347156 21592 pts/0 Sl 20:40 0:03 compiz --replace

and more continuous hard disk thrashing.

Then, the older compiz process actually started to consume *more* resident memory:

mdz 1827 1.3 24.0 2181580 738676 ? Dl Apr10 62:32 compiz

at which point I tried to strace it to see what was going on:

perseus:[~] strace -p 1827
Process 1827 attached - interrupt to quit
