KWin crashes on startup in 13.4 with nvidia driver

[Frederik Gladhorn]

After updating to 13.4 from 12.10 I can run compiz, but kwin crashes:

kwin: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/mesa-egl/libEGL.so.1: undefined symbol: wl_callback_interface

this is most likely a packaging error since according to Martin Graesslin:
"that looks like a packaging error. KWin doesn't link Wayland yet, so we don't care about "wl_callback_interface"."

[Felix Geyer (debfx)]

Note that kwin is only indirectly linked against wayland (kwin -> libEGL -> libwayland).

Thanks.

ldd resolves libwayland to /usr/local/lib/libwayland-server.so.0, which is a custom built binary that is not binary compatible with what we ship in ubuntu. I suggest that you either remove the custom build (seeing as it is outdated anyway) or update it to >=1.0.5.
