How do you start Compiz? Check if you have all relevant packages installed,
and activate it using fusion-icon instead of Gnome's "desktop effects", and
see if that works. Fusion-icon is usually smarter to start Compiz the Right
Way. So, disable desktop effects in Gnome, restart, login and pick
fusion-icon from the menu or from the command line. If that works, make
fusion-icon autostart every time you login. Also, I recommend using Emerald
window decorator, it is very well adapted to Compiz, and has some nice
effects of its own.
HTH, :-)
