From the provided stacktrace this look more like a bug in compiz than in unity itself. I've added compiz to the affected packages.

Definitely a compiz issue: it's a crash in CompWindow::serverBorderRect() probably caused by "priv" being null (hence the offset within the record).

I got this bug, but I can't just reproduce it. It happened pseudo-randomly, and I don't know of any specific steps I could take to make the crash happen again.

I've got this bug once but so far It looks like it is ok. At least there is no regression.
