Compiz debug log from soreau:
http://sprunge.us/VXcd

"unhandled exception (type std::exception) in signal handler:
what: call to empty boost::function" is the notable tidbit in the attached backtrace. I think that it's trying to call up the commands plugin with only three parameters for calling up the commands stored in the commands plugin when there's supposed to be four parameters. Not sure if that's what's causing it to crash, though.

Thanks paul, I've merged the patch (sorry it took so long!)

This fix *HAS NOT* been released. The latest compiz-plugins-main package (1:0.9.6-0ubuntu4.2) does not contain this fix. It seems to have gotten lost in the shuffle somewhere along the line.

the bug will be fixed in precise as the new version of compiz-plugins land. I have reverted the status. thanks
