A workaround for this entire problem is to NOT set up multiple layouts in GNOME's keyboard preferences dialog. Instead, use the setxkbmap command to manually switch between your desired keyboard layouts. For example:

setxkbmap dvorak # switch to Dvorak
setxkbmap us # switch to QWERTY

The downside is that you no longer get the nice GUI keyboard layout switcher in the notification area (system tray), but the upside is that your desired keyboard layout functions correctly in all applications, including gnome-terminal and compiz.

Hope this helps.
