Hi, I'm sorry for the late response due to South African holidays.

The ubuntu utility did work before I used the gnome-compiz-manage. After some web searching I think this problem might be coming from the Nvidia self compiled driver. I experimented with Beryl and found that I needed to add the following options to the xorg.conf file in addition to just using the nvidia driver as is:

Section "Device"
    Identifier "Generic Video Card"
    Driver "nvidia"
    Option "UseFBDev" "true"
    Option "RenderAccel" "true"
    Option "AllowGLXWithComposite" "true"
    Option "backingstore" "true"
    Option "AddARGBGLXVisuals" "true"
    Option "TripleBuffer" "true"
EndSection

Compiz is working again but my title bars are black, beryl with the emerald window decorator works fine.
