Bug Description
After upgrading to the Ubuntu 12.10 beta, compiz crashes whenever I start resizing a window.
The console output of compiz provides this error message:
compiz: /usr/include/
Aborted (core dumped)
My system uses the nvidia driver if that is of importance..

Your system is not currently configured to drive a VGA console
on the primary VGA device. The NVIDIA Linux graphics driver
requires the use of a text-mode VGA console. Use of other console
drivers including, but not limited to, vesafb, may result in
corruption and stability problems, and is not supported.

I noticed that I can prevent compiz from crashing by clicking on a border in order to resize the window and release the resize handle without moving the mouse. All following resize operations now succeed.
A freshly started unity/compiz window manager crashes again when resizing any window.
