In my case it was a fresh install. I eventually managed to workaround it and make it work but I don't remember how. This is what I have installed now:
$ dpkg -l *compiz* |grep ii
ii compiz 1:0.9.7.12-0ubuntu4 OpenGL window and compositing manager
ii compiz-core 1:0.9.7.12-0ubuntu4 OpenGL window and compositing manager

ii compiz-plugins-main-default 1:0.9.7.0~bzr19-0ubuntu10.1 Compiz plugins - main default collection
ii compizconfig-backend-gconf 0.9.5.92-0ubuntu5 Compiz Fusion configuration system - gconf backend
ii compizconfig-settings-manager 0.9.5.92-0ubuntu3 Compiz configuration settings manager
ii libcompizconfig0 0.9.7.0~bzr428-0ubuntu6 Settings library for plugins - OpenCompositing Project
ii python-compizconfig 0.9.5.94-0ubuntu4 Compizconfig bindings for python
(it's a little different from the list I gave in #41)
It's a strange mix but it kind of works. Known problems: sometimes resizing a window stops with some extra space around it and rotating the cube with a window doesn't work. The window goes back to the original face as soon as I stop rotating it. Anyway all the alternatives are worse for me. This UI is still the one that better suits my way of working.

So it seems that I installed packages from

Furthermore I have this plugin ~/.compiz- 1/plugins/ libcube. so of 163080 bytes probably because of this http:// webcache. googleuserconte nt.com/ search? q=cache: qA_apIZ2- iAJ:ubuntuforum s.org/archive/ index.php/ t-1938942. html+&cd= 1&hl=en& ct=clnk (I give the google cache because the direct link doesn't work anymore for me)
