Bug Description

As my *compiz* installation seems very unstable (freezes) I installed *fusion-icon* to be able to restart *compiz* easily (and frequently). However when I start fusion-icon (in a terminal) it crashes with the following message:

     * Detected Session: gnome
     * Searching for installed applications...
     -- /usr/bin/compiz
     -- /usr/bin/metacity
     -- /usr/bin/xfwm4
     -- /usr/bin/gtk-window-decorator
     * Opening CompizConfig context
    compizconfig - Error: Unable to find interface type 2 on 0x7fb73b0561a0
    This is either a programmer error or more than one static library
    defining this interface has been linked in
    Unable to continue, please file a bug about this

(When I start it in the dash it crashes, too, only I cannot see the output.)

Bug 1182606 has a remotely similar message but it is four years old and “fixed”.

I am running Ubuntu 16.10 (4.8.0-41-generic #44) with daily updates.
fusion-icon --version says: fusion-icon-0.0.0. Apt-cache policy calls it “0.1.0-3ubuntu1”.

In the meantime I upgraded to Ubuntu 17.04. Fusion-icon seems to be the same version and still exhibits the same problem.
