Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: compiz

I have been having some problems with karmic and compiz since I switched back to nvidia due to terrible ati driver support just to find that compiz does not work anymore.
I decided to try compiz with a fresh install which also only worked with the 173 drivers and messed up window rendering.
My final attemt was to use a live disk and install the 190.53 drivers directly from nvidia which worked until I started 
compiz --replace
A few seconds after starting it in the terminal compiz core-dumped.
