Bug Description
I just upgraded to 11.10 from 11.04.
I opened the compiz config app and clicked "preferences". Before I could do anything, my shell crashed.
Now when I try to log in using the Ubuntu shell, it doesn't fully load. I get my desktop icons and a file menu at the top of the screen, which appears to be for nautilus. But that's it.
I can log in with Ubuntu 2D without issue.
It appears that some configuration file may have been corrupted. When I load the compiz config program from the Ubuntu 2D shell, click on "preferences", and click the "Profile" drop-down-list, I see two entries: "Default", and garbage characters. When I remove the profile with the garbage name, another one comes to take its place.
Originally reported on the Ubuntu forums; a few other people are having this issue, but I didn't get a working fix there.
