I think I found the root cause for the compiz-config-profile-setter
segfault. The call "ccsFreeContext(context);" in line 218 in
compiz_config_profile_setter.c frees the context object while background
event processing still uses the object, which then leads to the
segfault.

Had the same issue (after an apt-get dist-upgrade after at least a month
since the last time I upgraded). Comment #5 solved the issue for me.
Surprisingly, I didn't even need to restart.

Post #20 worked for me. Thanks Ruslan. Had to move important config

@Marco, #5 did not work for me at first, but it did the later (?!?).
just be sure `profile = unity` just before you reboot, it did change
back on my machine.
What I also did: clean/delete ~/.cache directory.

The (mutually exclusive) solutions lowgfx.conf startup and profile =

I tried what @8-mak tried and also a bunch more stuff (restart/reinstall

Might be a different bug, but still appeared after the March updates.

At first solution 5 did not work for me. A prerequisite I guess is that
you have to remove lowgfx.conf file before, not just comment it out.
Otherwise any change in .config/compiz-1/compizconfig/config will be
overwritten back to profile = unity-lowgfx.
rm ~/.config/upstart/lowgfx.conf
sed -i 's/-
Post #5 worked for me too.

* moved my .config to backup
* upgraded everything (Upgrade: unity-control-center-faces:amd64

Guest session is also working here in default graphics mode, so it's
probably a regression that just occurs with a certain Compiz settings or
plugin.
