[natty] Compiz crashes: GLib:ERROR:/build/buildd/glib2.0-2.27.3/glib/gmain.c:2218:g_main_dispatch: assertion failed

Binary package hint: compiz

Compiz crashes on startup, leaving me with no window decorations until I use metacity --replace.

If any additional information is required, I'll provide it. BTW: I'm using nouveau display drivers from the xorg-edgers ppa on natty.

Same with me, using the binary nVidia drivers, without xorg-edgers packages.

If the glib-plugin is disabled with ccsm Compiz starts ok.... !

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to look at all reported bugs in a timely manner. There have been many changes in Ubuntu since that time you reported the bug and your problem may have been fixed with some of the updates. It would help us a lot if you could test it on a currently supported Ubuntu version. When you test it and it is still an issue, kindly upload the updated logs by running apport-collect <bug #> and any other logs that are relevant for this particular issue.

Also, does comment #3's solution work for the original poster?
