First impression on 14.10

[Daniel van Vugt]

Sorry to hear. That's a Compiz (or probably Unity 7 Shell) crash, so 
please log an automatic crash report if given the option.

Being separate processes there is almost certainly no way Mir or XMir 
can make Compiz/Unity crash. It's just a coincidence.
