As it turned out, David Foerster's PPA patch also applies to version 0.7.2 in Natty and fixes the crash there (tested on a clean Natty install). So I've uploaded that to natty-proposed.
Steps to reproduce for the SRU team:
- Run under Compiz as the window manager.
- Install emerald.
- From the console, type emerald --replace. The result will be a segmentation fault.
- Install emerald 0.7.2-0ubuntu6.1 from -proposed.
- Run emerald --replace. Emerald should now start normally.
