Binary package hint: compiz

My computer has two users, and they are often logged onto X simultaneously. I am one of the users and I use compiz. The problem is that when I lock my screen and switch to other VT (using ctrl+alt+fN or Fast User Switch Applet), then back to mine I get a white screen instead of Gnome unlock dialog. However, the mouse pointer still exists and even changes to cursor-like when I point the area where password text box should be located. I am able then to enter my password (the screen remains completely white) and to press enter. After that I am returned to my desktop as if nothing has happened.

I'm running Gutsy. compiz version is 1:0.6.0+git20071008-0ubuntu1.1. I have an nvidia video card with nvidia-glx-new 100.14.19+2.6.22.4-14.9 installed.
