Bug Description

Compiz crashes while trying to change the keyboard layout (Super+Shift L or Alt+Shif L) in Lock screen password field. Using indicator to change keyboard layout works without a problem.

While Compiz is restarting lock screen does not work, so it is possible to access the locked desktop.

Same on 16.04.1, both updated and fresh netinstall.
Using default shortcuts (Super+Space|Shift+Super+Space) work fine, with any custom shortcut compiz crashes.

While lock screen is restarting, you even can type something in gedit for example. Ubuntu 16.04.

While lock screen is restarting, I was able to "crash it furthermore" and fully interact with all my open windows/terminals etc.
And this happening to an LTS version even after the first point release.
