This is certainly not an xserver-xorg-video-nouveau bug; the reporter
says that desktop-effects activate :).

It sounds like it's probably a gnome-control-center bug; that's where
the Appearance capplet lives.

Could you please attach your Xorg.conf as suggested by the automated
message; that could potentially be interesting.

Could you also attach the output of running "compiz --replace" in a
terminal. This will allow us to determine whether the problem is compiz
or in the desktop-effects enabling logic.
