Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: compiz

First off wasn't able to upload report while the crash occured due to message: disk space left only 1MB. 
RAM is 1GB.
Removed .xession-errors which had more than 60MB, compiz crash report had 119MB. After that I was able to file this bug via terminal. So there is no .xsession-errors included.
Procedure:
Install CCSM.
Enable Ring Switcher. Result: crash ## Popup window: Due to Compiz shutdown, report a bug, restart or close.
I choose to restart, after this desktop reloads everthing, except CCSM in unity pane is gone (every time after restarting compiz).

Enable Desktop Cube. Result: crash and same popup window as above.
I choose to report a bug. Result: Total freeze, probably due to less space. No keys work e.g. to open a terminal, screen is empty, only CCSM is still open without window borders, graphic is corrupt. Doesn't let me make a screenshot due to less disk space. (Made it later after removing logfiles.)

Workaround: create a folder via right click on desktop, you're not able to give it a name, because you can't type anything.
Open the folder, it opens Nautilus. Navigate to /usr/share/applications and double click on 'compiz'. Desktop reloads, but still looks like the screenshot. Also removed logfiles.

Change wallpaper and transparency of viewport. Result: crash. No window borders, no key function.
Restart compiz via /usr/share/applications.
Now everthing comes up ok and due to cleaning some diskspace able to file a bug.
