compiz crashes with SIGSEGV in PrivateWindow::configure

[Sam Spilsbury]

There is a case where compiz will crash on a null pointer dereference due to the fact that
window->prev may be NULL (and accessing window->prev->frame () with ROOTPARENT will fail).

Hello Sam, or anyone else affected,

Accepted compiz into oneiric-proposed, the package will build now and be available in a few hours. Please test and give feedback here. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you in advance!
