compiz crashed with SIGSEGV in raise()

[shamusl]

Just ran update-manager while running Firefox in Precise. Assuming an update to compiz caused this, but it happens whenever update-manager runs at all.

switched to Unity 2D, only way I could use desktop again.

As part of the big bug clear up for 16.04 LTS I am marking this bug as Wont Fix.
