Bug Description

This crash has happenend when I previously installed the Nvidia drivers on my fresh Precise installation, rebooted my system and tried to login the first time with the Nvidia drivers enabled.

After typing my password nothing happenend for a while (~10 - 20 sec.), then there was a small dialog about a Compiz crash with the option to restart Compiz. I did so and now the Unity desktop loaded properly. I was immediately greeted by Apport to report this crash.

Kind regards,
Jan
