A bit more info. I am using 11.10 with CCSM 0.9.5.92 with Unity 4.22.0-0ubuntu3, upgraded from 11.04.

- In CCSM, enabling or disabling *any* plug-in will cause Unity to crash and burn. By running Unity myself I can see it is dying with a segmentation fault

- In CSSM, going anywhere near anything on the 'Preferences' screen will causes unity to crash and burn (again segmentation fault). Note you don't need to make any changes, just looking at the backend menu, or clicking on '+' to add a profile, or clicking on export - all these will lead to Unity crashing.

- Changing setting within a plug-in is sometimes ok, Unity may or may not die from that. Lots of strangeness though, e.g. both Gnome Compatibility and Unity bind the 'Alt-F2' action to run commands, and CCSM complains about the clash. However, 'Alt-F2' only actually works to pop-up the Unity run dialog if you have it set to 'Alt-F2' in both plug-ins.

Currently CCSM and Unity seem mutually pretty incompatible. Looks like Unity is unstable under configuration changes.
