All necessary processes are started correctly, so it looks like compiz
does not like the way it was started.

Are there any errors spit out by compiz in .xsession-errors?

Now for the possible fix: in gnome-wm, there are the following lines.
case `basename $WINDOW_MANAGER` in
  compiz)
    LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT=1
    export LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT
    gtk-window-decorator &
    OPT3=glib
    OPT4=gconf
    ;;
  beryl)
    emerald &
    ;;
esac

Please try the following:
      * commenting the two lines about LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT
      * commenting the gtk-window-decorator line
      * commenting the OPT3 and OPT4 lines

I’m interested in the results and the potential regressions with each of
those. 

Thanks,
