I also suffer from this bug. In my case at least, the problem is relative to the home directory, and I don't know what to do. I logged in with the guest account, and compiz started up flawlessly. I changed my home dir, and compiz started up flawlessly.

Porblme solved when installing driver from ubuntu update, instead of using the ATI driver from ati web site.
