BUG: Gconf segmentation fault

[spayder26]

I found a segmentation fault bug when trying to develop python scripts via compizconfig, but only when the backend is gconf and I ran the script on shell (using the interactive python shell skips the problem).

The segfault appeared when I tried to read the Plugin configuration with gconf backend.
Example:
import compizconfig
print 1
a = compizconfig.Context()
print 2
print a.Plugins["crashhandler"].Display["directory"].Value

Execution:
1
2
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

Script exits

Hmm, can't reproduce this here.
This:

#!/usr/bin/python

import compizconfig

print 1
a = compizconfig.Context()
print 2
print a.Plugins["crashhandler"].Display["directory"].Value


give me this

I'm using ubuntu and 3v1n0 compiz wrapper (using the upure64 repository). It can be the reason.
