gnome-compiz-manager (the package that provides GL Desktop) isn't an Ubuntu package.

Secondly, the backtrace suggests that you've got the compiz-extra plugins installed. If these are built against the wrong version of compiz, they will crash compiz on startup. With the latest compiz and compiz-extra packages from Universe (1:0.3.6-1ubuntu7 and 0.3.6.0-1 at the moment) do you see the same crash?

Please, try to enable desktop-effects, instead of gl desktop, and report if this still a problem

Enabling desktop-effects doesn't produce a crash anymore, after enabling
the desktop-effects window that window becomes uncloseable until a short
period of time where desktop-effects then disables by itself and then it can
either be re-enabled or closed out.

so i don't get a crash report anymore but it certainly doesn't work for me.
