I expected to close Thunderbird, have it close successfully and then switch over to an open firefox window.
Instead Thunderbird exited and I was not able to select any windows, the launcher would not display and none of the indicators would display menus. The mouse would; however, move. Compiz / unity crashed and restarted and the error message was displayed.
