Compiz keeps crashing in Unity

[John Vivirito]

Binary package hint: compiz

Compiz keeps crashing in Unity. it has been happening for a while, for example bug #723928 for comments on compiz crashing when using unity --reset, but there is no way to duplicate it at any given time, it just happens.
Im going to try to attach the crash file i have in /var/crash since apport kept crashing when trying to use those reports to file a bug

I changed report to private as the file may contain private info at least they used to.
