compiz crashed with SIGABRT in Glib::exception_handlers_invoke()

[Håkan Carlsson]

Binary package hint: compiz

IMPORTANT: This bug is from running as a vm inside virtualbox. Host: Win 7 x64
RAM: 1024 MB.

Compiz crashed directly after logging in, when I reduced the assigned video memory from 128 MB to 64 MB. Earlier it ran fine on 32 MB, although a bit sluggish. Latest OSE vbox tools installed.
