[PSB] Compiz decoration glitches (Intel GMA500)

[Lucazade]

Binary package hint: compiz

Compiz 0.9.2 in Natty has some glitches in decorations using an Intel Gma500 chipset.
Decorations have a black background on corners (no trasparency) and maximized windows don't have decorations.
This chip worked well with compiz 0.8.x and previous Ubuntu releases.

Attached "compiz --replace" log and a screenshot

Hi.
I've uploaded my .xsession-errors from newest Natty Alpha-1 and psb of VAIO P.
and xrandr was below:
-------------------------------------------
Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1600 x 768, maximum 1600 x 1600
LVDS0 connected 1600x768+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 0mm x 0mm
   1600x768 59.9*+
SDVO-1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
-------------------------------------------

I've also added my screenshot of gnome/compiz.
It shows running compiz without composites and window decorations looks strange.
