Assuming you want to debug compiz on machine A, start compiz there. Then
take machine B, log on machine A using ssh and run
    gdb -p $(pidof compiz.real) (or whatever is needed to attach to
compiz.real)
Then try to reproduce the Compiz crash on machine A. When Compiz
crashes, go back to machine B, and enter "bt full" in gdb, and send us
the whole output.
