As an addition to Jerry's and Aero's posts:

My desktop machine's Compaq Evo D 510 SFF (a.k.a. D51S, mentioned earlier a couple of times in this thread, with "VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82845G/GL[Brookdale-G]/GE Chipset Integrated Graphics Device (rev 01)") and the problem persists in Intrepid, all updates done. Compiz version: 1:0.7.8-0ubuntu4. I do have intrepid-proposed enabled. I second Jerry's words:

"I can try a new version of compiz if someone would explain how to get it, preferably with an apt-get syntax."

However, I would like to add (or repeat) that this Compiz issue is not the only problem with the intel driver in my desktop machine, because in most cases, logging out or trying to change user (FUSA) results in a blank (black) screen, GDM sound heard but nothing to be seen (have to Ctrl+Alt+F1 out of the situation).
