Are you running KDE when starting compiz? I can't reproduce this problem
here from Gnome. Can you try without KDE?

Does it help if you install gnome-themes or gtk2-engines? compiz-gtk
suggests gnome-themes, might be the reason.

Your window decorator didn't start properly. Running compiz --replace
again might help. Or maybe the above clearlooks theme is require by the
window decorator, and thus makes it fail to start.
