Bug Description

Binary package hint: compiz

compiz consistently crashes during startup when running in a Natty VMware VM (i.e. no hardware opengl support)

I unfortunately didn't save everything from stdout/stderr. I can recover it if necessary, but the gist was an error during initScreen in the opengl plugin, followed by a failure to load the expo and scale plugins.
