SEGFAULT in compiz.real while working with python applets in AWN/Avant

[Dragan Tomas]

I'm using Intrepid, the latest kernel -8. Everything is patched to the latest available stuff from the update manager. It happens repeatedly if I'm even trying to hover above some applets or select an application to go to that's already open. Sometime compiz completely forgets about the positions of open applications relevant to the choice of their virtual desktops, it just puts them all on one desktop after the compiz is restarted. Some applets like the "Shiny Switcher" in Avant completely disappear after it's restarted so I have to add it again. Sometime it only looses the window decorations (Emerald). Here's the relevant log entry about the crashes:
