I am running Ubuntu 9.04 with desktop effects, and OpenShot works fine. I still think the issue is probably video driver related, or possibly an xorg config issue. I would recommend you post a bug to the xorg people, and see what they say. Please post a link to that bug report, so we can follow the thread.
I'm not sure bug #389387 is the same as this one. I won't know until they post a more detailed error message.
