hello

Actual workaround:

1. Start your session
2. Go to terminal (ctrl+alt+F1) and kill compiz.real via killall compiz.real -s KILL
3. go back to your session (ctrl+alt+F7)
4. remove /dev/nvidiactl (this will be regenerated next time you restart GDM)
5. start compiz

this does not work here (nvidia 173.xx.xx)
but i managed to start with metacity and setup indirect rendering with fusion-icon .
then i restart the session > compiz and gnome could start normally.

hav a good day
