Thanks Timo! I tried the ppa and updated compiz; indeed the crash is fixed however the decorator doesn't seem to work when I run kernel 3.2.0-30 or newer.
I don't think this is any worse that the previous version of compiz though, in which case I got a crash with the same kernels (with kernel 3.2.0-29 both the old and the new compiz work fine for me by the way). So I have to ask, what changed between kernel 3.2.0-29 and 3.2.0-30 that causes compiz to either crash, or after this fix, causes the decorator to not do anything? I even tried compiz-decorator --replace, it finds and says it starts /usr/bin/gtk-window-decorator but to no effect, all windows I launch are still borderless and the desktop cube is not rotating (I can't switch to other workspaces). Am I hitting some other bug?
