New question #76773 on Ubuntu:
https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/76773

I am running jaunty on a dell d620.  Everything was running fine, including compiz.  I made some changes through the gnome interface to add more effects.  Since then, after I login, the desktop starts up but the moment I mouseover any menu items, black boxes start to appear and the desktop becomes completely unusable.  I switched to the command line console and restarted gdm which allows me to operate on a different display console.  I have tried removing and reinstalling compiz with every method I could find.  No use.  If I leave compiz uninstalled, I am missing window titles and I cannot move windows or switch between them.  I have tried to get back to where I was but I am not having any luck.  Any help would be appreciated.  

When I run compiz --replace, this is the output:

Checking for Xgl: not present. 
xset q doesn't reveal the location of the log file. Using fallback /var/log/Xorg.0.log 
Detected PCI ID for VGA:
