Bug Description

Description: Ubuntu precise (development branch)
Release: 12.04
Architecture: amd64
Compiz version: 1:0.9.7.4-0ubuntu3

Compiz crashed a few seconds after I activated the rain drop effect.
As a result my screen turned black and the only thing left I could do was pushing the reset button on my laptop.

I'm using an old hardware (Thinpad x61 Tablet), that's why I guess that the GPU was overstrained.
You may add a warning or simply automatically turn off effects when it's clear that they need too much hardware resources like e.g. Windows Aero already does it.
