Title:
  compiz crashes with segfault after recent updates

Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  My Ubuntu Desktop 14.04 VM became unusable (unity shell) a few days ago, and after some significant updates.
  Things are fine after I log in and until I try to do something. Then compiz will crash and my system becomes unusable. I do have sshd running and can connect via ssh to re-boot or shurdown or get new updates are whatever.

  This bug report is being sent while logged on with GNOME shell, which
  also has been having issues since January 17th, ( see bug 1273276 )
  but there is a workaround that allows me to use it.

  For the last few days, I see log entries in both kern.log and syslog
  saying about compiz complaing about segfaults.

  Everything was working fine for unity log in until a few days ago.
  (well, and as expected during the development phase, there have been
  issues.)
