compiz crashed with SIGSEGV in g_closure_invoke()

[jerrylamos]

Updated 3.16.0-21 to -22, booted, got this error.

So far I've gotten compiz crashes on all four of my pc's, this
Acer 5253 wide screen notebook,
Lenovo M58p desktop,
Acer Aspire 1 netbook. all with amd64 ubuntu utopic. Even my
Compaq Presario Pentium D 3.33 gHz 32 bit got a compiz failure a couple days ago.

BTW, also get failures with kernel 3.17.

Intrepid up thru July 31 no such trouble. Grief of varying degrees since.

This is:
