I'm having the same problem. Expo key is default "<Super>e" and it causes compiz.real to segfault.
Running Karmic 9.10, but video card is ATI. Details below.
lspci yields:
01:05.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon Mobility U1
After segfault, dmesg yields:
[ 96.640662] compiz.real[2168]: segfault at 0 ip (null) sp bfb486cc error 4 in libxml2.so.2.7.5[110000+122000]

Could no longer reproduce after resetting config.

Thanks for the report, it has been some time without any response or feedback in this bug report and we are wondering if this is still an issue for you with the latest release of Ubuntu the Natty Narwhal, May you please test with that version and comment back if you're still having or not the issue? Please have a look at http://www.ubuntu.com/download to know how to install that version.Thanks in advance and sorry for the late response.
