[Daniel van Vugt <daniel.van.vugt@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This should be fully fixed per bug 901097. So fixed in Ubuntu 12.10 and
later. Preferably 13.04. The fix was a major one for Compiz so it
probably won't be backported to 12.04.

Using 13.04 you might notice some tearing on fullscreen apps. This is to be expected as we have boosted performance for fullscreen apps by disabling Compiz for most of them. This means it's up to the app to do it's own vsync. Or you can force Compiz to retain control of fullscreen windows (and hence avoid tearing) by configuring:
