Bug#496519: compiz: segfault at startup
Package: compiz
Version: 0.7.6-5
Severity: important
When I start 'compiz --replace' the windows disappear for a
moment and then I get the following segfault in the shell window:
bernhard@be:~$ compiz --replace

Starting gtk-window-decorator
/usr/bin/compiz: line 393: 4683 Segmentation fault
${COMPIZ_BIN_PATH}${COMPIZ_NAME} $COMPIZ_OPTIONS "$@" $COMPIZ_PLUGINS
^C
After I kill compiz with ^C the windows disappear/flicker again and the
shell window is deselected.
This is a fresh installation of debian/testing (lenny). I have recompiled debians
2.6.26 kernel with gcc 4.3 and these modifications:
K7 processor
xen disabled (possibly badly, I'm unfamiliar with xen)
I installed the nvidia driver with nvidias installer.
I use kdm and gnome.
nvidia 6200 AGP card
flightgear works fine. secondlife too, but it crashes when I try to change its
fullscreen resolution.
