Compiz crashes when loading app from app place in Unity

[Jono Bacon]

Binary package hint: compiz

When I load the app place in Unity, type in 'Blender' to load the Blender app, the place correctly displays the available apps that match that search term - when I click on one of the icons Compiz and Unity crash.

Jono, can you try to have apport enabled (which should be the case) and report the stacktrace when compiz is told to crash?
The crash file should be in /var/crash/*compiz* (just ensure that the file timestamp correspond to the crash even, there is only one crash file by application) and then wait for the crash popup asking you to report this bug or ubuntu-bug -c /var/crash/…

Thanks :)
