Can you run the script with -fid then -vd and see if it sais the same
thing? (-d means it will do everything EXCEPT actually start up, so
you won't have to deal with crashing).

It only crashes with some plugins, not all? Can you specify which
combination of plugins seem to crash? Does the crashhandler plugin
give any usefull information? (It should be the first loaded plugin).

If it still crashes without a good reason and doesn't provide a
backtrace, would it be possible for you to run compiz in gdb? You'd
have to do it either in screen and a terminal, or over SSH, since your
X will be frozen while gdb interrupts execution.

Well you shouldn't be using libbs any more, use ccs, which is the new
name. I think I updated the get-git script for it last night.

Ok, shouldn't really be any problems with that setup...
