zniavre - try to start a Guest session and enabling desktop affects from there. The guest account does not have permission to /dev/nvidiactl, and this should result in a working Compiz for that session.
If it ends up working in the Guest session, make sure you indeed removed /dev/nvidiactl .
You can try running glxgears which alert you with the following message:
"NVIDIA: could not open the device file /dev/nvidiactl (No such file or directory)."

Make sure, of course, that you are indeed running with the nVidia driver.

Thanks
