So, is compiz running? "ps auxw | grep compiz" should return lines like so:
kwrapper ksmserver --windowmanager /usr/bin/compiz-manager
/usr/bin/compiz --ignore-desktop-hints --replace --indirect-rendering ccp
...no compiz running, no cool 3D desktop effects. If "glxinfo | grep direct"
doesn't give you "direct rendering: Yes", you have no accelerated 3D, and
compiz will not work at all.

What is the make and model of the video chipset? Are you using XGL? (IME,
XGL = EPIC FAIL, but it might work on Intel video cards.) Are the kernel
modules needed for DRI loaded? Those are agpgart, intel_agp, and radeon here
on my laptop, but YVideoCardMV.
