At skaet's direction I've reverted glew back to 1.5.2. This seems to resolve the issue on my test box, and several others have confirmed the same. This solves the problem for the alpha-2 release so I'm going to go ahead and close the nux bug.

However, longer term someone should look deeper into why nux crashes on this newer glew version. Does compiz simply need a rebuild against it, or have there been ABI changes that need accounted for in nux? Hopefully it's not a deep mystery, and can be solved post-alpha-2. I'm leaving the Ayatana Unity upstream task open as a reminder for this work.
