Public bug reported: This is fairly typical of instability problems I've been having for a while, but I tried to isolate an example which I could document well.
To create the crash I simply selected 'Place Windows' which was previously unselected within CCSM. Immediately, Compiz crashes and all window decorations and interactions are lost. I attach the output from the compiz --replace process (which I had running on TTY1 with STDOUT and STDERR directed to the same file). There had been previous crashes, so I relaunched compiz with the additional logging redirects to create this file, like... compiz --replace > /tmp/compiz.out 2>&1 On restarting Compiz it seems stable and functional again, but selecting and deselecting plugins creates another crash. From experience with this build, removing compiz config entirely and starting again returns stability, so there may be a particular selected plugin which is creating this issue, but I haven't isolated which.
