The debug symbol packages installed come all from the offical dbgsym
repository and are as updated as it is, if they don't match the
installed versions it's not my fault, and I wouldn't know how to remedy.

Also, I don't think that any of those libraries are involved in some way in the crash, since:
- none of them is directly correlated with compiz, and the gdb instance called by the crash plugin for compiz,
- none of them were mentioned in the debug crash logo created by the compiz crash handler plugin;
- after I installed the debug symbols, the gdb instance called by the crash handler plugin never complained in its log about version mismatching.

Also, the problem seems way deeper than just missing symbols, since the
faulty location corresponds either to /dev/zero or to a deleted file in
/tmp, so I doubt that any installed symbol could provide meaningful
results for that.

Anyway, I got tired of the instability of 11.10 (which gave me several
other problems), so I replaced that installation with Debian Stable; it
runs without problems with compiz 0.8.4 and the nVidia drivers 195.36.1
(and I got Gnome 2.30 back, wohoho!).
