This crash only happens when DISPLAY= is not set. As such, compiz would fail to start anyways.

Assigning to alan_g in any case.

I assume from this the desired outcome is a graceful exit?

This particular bug is fixed in compiz-core revision 3018. The official compiz 0.9.7.0 released yesterday is revision 3033.

Ubuntu 12.04 however I think still has a pre-release version of compiz 0.9.7.0 based on revision 2995. Hence even if you have compiz 0.9.7.0 in Ubuntu 12.04, you might not have this fix yet.

I am hitting this bug with ubuntu 12.04 which has 0.9.7.0 rev 2995. Anyone know how to get it upgraded to something with the fix or when the official repositories will get upgraded with a newer revision with the fix?

I believe the fix for this will be in beta-2. So the repositories should be updated to include it within weeks.
