Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: compiz-core
I upgraded all my compiz packages to the latest hardy version today to
see if there were new features, but instead compiz dies with a
segmentation fault for me whenever I try and start it. Version info:
$ apt-show-versions | grep compiz

$ uname -a
Linux ****** 2.6.24-8-generic #1 SMP Thu Feb 14 20:40:45 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux
My computer is a Dell XPS M1710 laptop with an NVIDIA GeForce 7900 Go
GS, using the 169.09 drivers.
If compiz is started from the System -> Appearance -> Visual Effects tab, I
simply get "Desktop effects could not be enabled".
If started from a terminal by typing "compiz", I get this:
$ compiz

Segmentation fault (core dumped)
Looking at the script, it is compiz.real that is segfaulting. I have
attached a backtrace obtained with gdb (not really sure if I did it
properly though). The segfault occurs in XGetXCBConnection.
