Please add something similar to the attached patch to the compiz wrapper script
so that Xgl can be used, since this solution is currently more stable for users
of nVidia graphics cards.

We thought about applying this patch in the upcoming compiz 0.5.2 but...

+# use mesa library if Xgl is running
+if ps -C Xgl > /dev/null; then

This test does not guarantee that Xgl is running in the X server we are on.
There might be a better way, maybe with glxinfo or so. Or require that the
user passes --xgl when invoking compiz...

This isn't an issue for me any more, but the latter sounds like a fine solution for those unfortunate souls possessing ATI cards.
