SIGSEGV in CompWindow::id()

[Hernando Torque]

Using Unity r663 (and bamf r367), Compiz won't load on session start after a boot. Instead I just see the desktop wallpaper and the busy cursor (spinning circle thing). Using Unity 3.2.2-0ubuntu2 this doesn't happen. Backtrace attached.

Starts with r652.

There is probably a stale window in the paint lists. I will look into
it when I have time

FWIW, if I delay the Compiz start via a wrapper like:

#!/bin/bash
sleep 1
/usr/bin/compiz.real

it starts fine.

Can it set a higher priority please sam so that it won't affect this week release?

Is this bug not a dupe of bug #694945 "compiz crashed with SIGSEGV in CompWindow::id()" where mterry has a fix attached?

[Hernando Torque (htorque)]

I think so (while technically the other one is the dupe :P). Marking as duplicate.
