Running current precise with the first SRU candidate from unity staging I see those errors in valgrind:

Could be the same issue than bug #932382

it seems like http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~compiz-team/compiz-libcompizconfig/0.9.5/revision/430 is not in precise though...is that an oversight or was it kept out of a reason?

[Daniel van Vugt (vanvugt)]

That looks like it might still be a different bug.
