Public bug reported:

Trying to use compizconfig to set or get a compiz option in quantal
causes the python interpreter to segfault. Here's a sample run using the
python interactive shell:

In [1]: import compizconfig
In [2]: ctx = compizconfig.Context()
In [3]: plugin = compizconfig.Plugin(ctx, 'unityshell')
In [4]: setting = compizconfig.Setting(plugin, 'disable_show_desktop')

Segmentation fault (core dumped)

The stack trace looks like this:

#0  0x00007ffff6035018 in ?? () from /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/compizconfig.so

#9  0x00000000004c9429 in _start ()


without debugging symbols it's pretty useless, but there's no python-compizconfig-dbg package to install them.
