I think this is solved.

My PC is a Toshiba NB100 wiht an Intel GMA 950 graphics adapter.

I saw the solution in this site:
http://<email address hidden>/msg02329.html

A) Don't start compiz as root & don't use X as root.

B) You need to set LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT as true before running compiz
(with that card):

$ LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT=true compiz --replace ccp &

Thanks for your bug report. Is this still an issue with the latest release of Ubuntu the Natty Narwhal? May you please check and comment back? Thanks in advance!.
