compiz crashed with SIGSEGV in frame_device_get_property()

[Jerry Preissler]

I'm running the latest upstream kernel (linux-image-3.14.0-031400-generic_3.14.0-031400.201403310035_amd64.deb) to test an unrelated bluetooth problem ( https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1301211 ). Compiz crashed twice for me today, symptoms were a non-responsive desktop (could move mouse pointer, but not change windows or click buttons) that reverted to a blank desktop (only wallpaper) and had all windows redrawn. I could continue normally afterwards.
