Thanks to Aaron from NVidia for his assistance and post (#245) on this.

I implemented his --use-root-window workaround by modifying the
/usr/bin/compiz script (after first backing it up, of course).  I simply
changed the line:

  COMPIZ_OPTIONS="--ignore-desktop-hints --replace"

to

  COMPIZ_OPTIONS="--use-root-window --ignore-desktop-hints --replace"

and then logged off and back on.

Unfortunately, it didn't fix the problem: I still get no screen updates
when connecting remotely to vino-server.

Running "ps aux | grep compiz" confirmed that compiz.real was running
with the --use-root-window option.

I am using the stock Ubuntu restricted driver for older hardware (i.e.,
Nvidia driver version 96.43.13).

I did notice that vino-server runs with the '--sm-disable' option (i.e.
"Disable connection to session manager" per 'vino-server --help-all').
Could this possibly have anything to do with this issue (much more
generally, of course)?
