This bug was fixed by adding this line in /usr/bin/compiz:
T="$T 8086:3577 8086:2562" # Intel 830MG, 845G (LP: #259385)"

This tells to not allow compiz to run on intel 845 and 830 chipsets.
(use metacity instead I thinks).
Like writeen in the file, read http://wiki.compiz-fusion.org/Hardware/Blacklist for more infos.

I believe glenric is a better way to fix this bug.
But as this bug is closed, I open a new one to suggest to use the glenric's workaround:
