compiz crashed with SIGSEGV after last update - unity breakage

[David Sommen]

After the last updates I booted into only a wallpaper with no launcher, panel or windows. This bug is already reported:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/963633

After doing a unity --reset, the problem seems te be resolved, however compiz crashed shortly afterwards. Everything seems to be working though.
