Compiz crashes when scrolling in Openoffice

boost::bad_function_call usually indicates that an empty function is
being passed to boost.

Somewhere in the code we are passing an emptyFunction to PrivateScreen::addTimer

I've subscribed myself to this and will look at it once my exams are over

This bug was fixed in the package compiz - 1:0.9.2.1+glibmainloop2-0ubuntu1

---------------
compiz (1:0.9.2.1+glibmainloop2-0ubuntu1) natty; urgency=low

  * new upstream snapshot with glibmm experimental branch:
    - Compiz crashes when scrolling in Openoffice (LP: #675506)
    - Compiz sometimes loses focus when closing some windows (LP: #671459)
    - Fix --replace hang (LP: #680165)
  * debian/65compiz_profile-on-session:
    - add unity profile to default session
  * debian/rules:
    - add bailer, detection, regex and animation and fade plugin to both
      profiles
    - get an optimized plugin default order
  * debian/patches/060_move_checks_to_compiz.patch:
    - start stripping it down as now we have a detection and bailer plugins
      for that. The failsafe session should be moved in the detection plugin.
  * debian/patches/055_fix_COMPIZ_DEFAULT_PLUGINS.patch,
    debian/patches/056_Preserve-DESTDIR-if-no-override-in-COMPIZ_DESTDIR.patch
    debian/patches/057_update_gnome_bindings.patch:
    - removed, upstreamed
  * debian/patches/065_add_bailer_and_detection_plugins.patch:
    - add bailer and detection plugins to fallback to 2D session or run in
      degraded mode.
  * debian/compiz-gnome.install, debian/unity.ini,
    debian/compiz-gnome.gconf-defaults:
    - add the unity profile to ini and gconf backend
  * debian/patches/001_fix_gconf_path.patch:
    - fix the path when generating the gconf keys (compiz-1)
  * debian/patches/002_ship_splited_gconf_cmakeext_files.patch:
    - ship and link the splited gconf extension schema builder
  * debian/control:
    - add libglibmm-2.4-dev build-dep and to -dev dep
  * debian/patches/003_more_gconf_parser_fix.patch:
    - fix parser breakage with some plugins
