I know that i'm not the reporter of this bug, but as i reported last December, i had the same problem. I "solved" it with a batch file which starts automatically and looks so:

sleep 10
DISPLAY=":0.0" /usr/bin/compiz --replace ccp --sm-disable --only-current-screen &
DISPLAY=":0.1" /usr/bin/compiz --replace ccp --sm-disable --only-current-screen &

It isn't a nice solving and causes another problem: in most cases i have no window decoration after it replaces compiz. I wrote the "sleep 10" line to avoid it, but it didn't really helped. So i have to start the replace command once again manually (i do it with another batch file only for my primary screen, because i use only fullscreen windows on the secondary one).
I know that it isn't a good solving, but i don't know any better yet.
I wanna use the latest UBUNTU distro, but i don't wanna lose my settings, and the upgrade procedure failed on my both attempts.
