       (lp: #953579)
    - "remove all items from the dbusmenucollector on free" (lp: #953771)
    - "check the window title from bamf for being NULL before comparing
       on it" (lp: #953620)

I'm having continuous problems with compiz crashing and its keyboard settings not working since the last update. This crash happened while I was disabling a compiz plugin to try to get things to be a bit more stable.
