Seems similar to Bug #192389 (info also posted there). Still crashes after "hiding" the config file.
lent@BlueUbuntu:~/.config/compiz-1/compizconfig$ mv config .config Before the crash, the program rebuilds the config rebuilds as a shorter config file: lent@BlueUbuntu:~/.config/compiz-1/compizconfig$ diff -c .config config *** .config 2011-02-03 09:17:55.121334860 -0500 --- config 2011-02-17 11:10:56.429666595 -0500 *************** *** 1,7 **** [gnome_session] profile = - [general] - profile = - integration = true - --- 1,3 ---- lent@BlueUbuntu:~/.config/compiz-1/compizconfig$ So r_u: 's solution doesn't work. And anyway programs shouldn't crash on bad config files. They should spit out an error messages somewhere (with enough information) and die in a controlled way. Even a message a log file helps.
