Bug Description
ARGBGLXVisuals are necessary for Compiz/Beryl Window Decorators to show window borders. So, without it, desktop-effects would not function properly (you get wobbly windows with no borders).
They are enabled by this line in the Screen section of xorg.conf:
Option "AddARGBGLXVisuals" "True"
Restricted Manager should do this while setting up nvidia drivers (non-legacy), since one major motive for setting up such drivers is to get 3D effects.

Unfortunately there is no debconf setting to add additional options, so whenever we call dexconf, the settings get lost. The clean solution would be to add proper video driver option support to the xorg source package's dexconf program.
