Thank you for your report!

However, processing it in order to get sufficient information for the
developers failed (it does not generate a useful symbolic stack trace). This
might be caused by some outdated packages which were installed on your system
at the time of the report:

python-compizconfig version 1:0.9.8+bzr3249-0ubuntu4 required, but 1:0.9.8+bzr3319-0ubuntu2 is available
outdated debug symbol package for python-compizconfig: package version 1:0.9.8+bzr3319-0ubuntu2 dbgsym version 0.9.5.94-0ubuntu4
libcompizconfig0 version 1:0.9.8+bzr3319-0ubuntu1 required, but 1:0.9.8+bzr3319-0ubuntu2 is available
compiz-core version 1:0.9.8+bzr3319-0ubuntu1 required, but 1:0.9.8+bzr3319-0ubuntu2 is available
compizconfig-settings-manager version 1:0.9.8+bzr3249-0ubuntu4 required, but 1:0.9.8+bzr3319-0ubuntu2 is available

Please upgrade your system to the latest package versions. If you still
encounter the crash, please file a new report.

Thank you for your understanding, and sorry for the inconvenience!

rajesh,

Your package: compizconfig-settings-manager 1:0.9.8+bzr3249-0ubuntu4
appears to be old and out of sync with the library version it uses:
libcompizconfig0 version 1:0.9.8+bzr3319-0ubuntu1/2

Please do a system update and I think this crash will be fixed.
