The root cause of this problem is that Linux has a broken video architecture (its being worked on for fixing). Its not really the fault of compiz, its symptomatic of compiz like functions not the cause. Fixing it requires video architecture changes and corresponding video driver changes that have already taken a long time to get this far, and the work is not completed yet.

This problem and a number of other related issues can be worked around by disabling compiz. Trying to force run these sorts of functions with composting on is dangerous.
