Obviously, compiz can't make changes that break or worsen the experience 
with other drivers, but even if the issue only occurs with nvidia, the 
ultimate solution may be to patch compiz. If other compositors exhibited 
the behavior, it would go a long way to support the "not a compiz issue" 
conclusion. As it is, I don't see enough evidence to verify the problem 
is directly caused by the nvidia driver (although it's certainly 
possible). I see someone reporting a segfault from compiz and even an 
Intel user claiming they have the issue (not sure of the validity of 
that claim). Is there a stack trace for the segfault? That could be helpful.
