I tried every workaround listed on this bug, sadly none of them worked.

Finally I found that the problem raises when I put in ~/.profile the "export KDEWM=/usr/bin/compiz" line, used to start compiz & emerald from the start without loading KWin.

If I comment out that export line and let KWin start, then later replacing it by starting Compiz, Alt+F2 will work fine.

very strange bug, I just wish there was a formal way to avoid loading KWin so there were not need to kill it after with Compiz.
