Please, give the result of the following command:
aptitude show compiz-gnome

i.e. can you tell us if the update of nautilus uninstall compiz-gnome.

[Alexander Kallenbach (kallenbachalex)]

Yes It think the update of nautilus uninstalled compiz-gnome. I've reinstalled it, but no effect.

 This package contains files needed to integrate compiz with the GNOME desktop
 environment.
