Sorry about not managing to post the result of the crash directly but compiz crashing seems to be preventing the report a problem dialogue from working.
As a best attempt to capture the problem - bearing in mind that I only have access to the nautilus desktop, and therefore managed to get hold of a terminal - I ran "compiz --replace" and copied the output as an attachment.
