I'd like to be sure we agree on the problem here. If you want to use Compiz, just disable Metacity compositor in GConf (using gconf-editor, under /apps/metacity/general/compositing_manager). If you want to use Metacity, just turn off desktop effects, and then set Metacity as a compositor or not using GConf.

This bug should just git you when you switch from Compiz to composited Metacity, which only occurs when you're playing with window managers. That's annoying when you're performing tests, but in day-to-day use, it should no be a problem.
