unity-window-decorator crashed with SIGABRT in raise()

[Tony Mugan]

This happened on Precise with all latest updates.
I think it was related to plugging in a USB external hard drive.

It happened twice within a few minutes.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

BTW,

I alsop get an error trying to submit this to Launchpad.
It says

'compiz-**:' isn't a valid tag name. Tags must start with a letter or number and be lowercase. The characters "+", "-" and "." are also allowed after the first character.
Space-separated keywords for classifying this bug report.

The tags I have are shown as

apport-crash amd64 precise running-unity precise running-unity ubuntu regression compiz-**: need-amd64-retrace

I removed the offending -**: at then end of compiz
