You could both be right - should I file another bug against xserver-xorg 1.6 itself?
I don't play many games - mostly the standard gnome set, which don't show any problems for me. The only one I use Wine for is spider solitaire. From what you say, this might be a problem with the composite extension in the x-x-v-ati driver, which should show up with other OpenGL apps. glxgears shows a normal output screen, but a low frame rate, with or without compiz. Compiz without Wine/spider works fine, smooth rotating cube, fire effect, all that jazz.
Any suggestions about what else I can check - combinations of video settings/effects/apps that might show problems?
