"compiz.real crashes" on enabling "Extra" visual effects after scanning for drivers, but seems to be successfully enabled: compiz.real assert failure: *** glibc detected *** /usr/bin/compiz.real: double free or corruption (!prev): 0x094cc770 ***

Binary package hint: compiz

Apport tells me that the "compiz.real" process crashes when enabling "Extra" visual effects from "None" - after scanning for drivers. However, visual effects seems to enable successfully.

Ubuntu 9.10 "Karmic Koala" alpha 4
