I get the same crash whenever I try to enable Unity Shell in CCSM. I then have to restart compiz and only then can I use Unity...

This bug is rather old and I have not seen any new bugs like this reported. I'm guessing this has been fixed along the way and marking as Fix Released.

If this does still occur, we can either reopen this bug or open a new one.

Hmm, looking at errors.ubuntu.com, it looks like this one does show up from time to time, even on 15.04, so going to reopen.

As part of the big bug clear up for 16.04 LTS I am marking this bug as Wont Fix.
These types of crasher are better handled by errors.ubutnu.com which can collate similar crash reports to help us identify persitent bugs rather than one-off crashes.
Sorry we are not able to help with this specific issue. If you are still experiencing this crash, please re-open the bug and add the tag "desktop-bugscrub-reopened". See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BigDesktopBugScrub for more information.
