Great...thanks! (But, just to confirm: I'm running KDE, so there is no loading of xcompmgr, correct? I just turn off all transparency in the settings?)
Thanks for the procedure 'PHG'.
It works for me on a compaq evo n620c with ati radeon m7 7500.
I am running dapper if that makes any difference.
firefox doesn't seem to crash.

I'm running the latest version of the NVIDIA drivers (8756) on an AMD64 but my logout window does not show up. Can It be fixed?
Also make sure you purged nvidia-glx or it might start complaining after a few reboots about something like fbmmx when starting Xorg.
I installed xcompmgr following the howto on a computer with the nvidia drivers installed from nvidia and a GeForce FX 5200. It worked and looked great. However, I didn't disable the xscreensaver and left my computer for a bit. When I came back the xserver had crashed and I was back at a login screen. I then uninstalled xcompmgr and set the xorg.conf file back to the way it was. Now the xscreensaver still crashes the xserver, and so does any other software that uses GL. For instance running glxgears crashes the xserver. There are two possibilities here. One is that something else was modified and not reset properly in the install/uninstall process. The other possiblity is that running xcompmgr and GL software at the same time burned out the GL part of my video card. Considering the smell of fried electronics that was coming from my computer I think the latter is the case. I will do more testing and see exactly what the problem is. Has anyone else experienced this? In any case I think that there should be a warning in the howto that you may damage your video card using xcompmgr in combination with GL.
I reinstalled the nvidia drivers and now GL works again. It seems that if GL software runs while xcompmgr is running that the nvidia drivers are corrupted. Or something...

Wow, people are still using this guide? Must be popular. Or is it that Breezy is no friend of xgl and compiz ?
This space intentionally left blank.
Quoting the original post:
Is this bug really gone? I'm using the latest driver from the dapper repos (8756) and everything seems to work fine except for the fact that every time I try to logout, the screen locks completely.Second Bug: When you try to logout in Gnome, it seems to crash!
THIS BUG IS GONE WITH NEWEST DRIVERS AND NVIDIA CARDS!!!!! DANCING IN THE STREETS!!!!!
EDIT: I'm on Dapper and using a card with the GeForce2 MX/MX 400 chip.
Thanks Poofyhairguy...
Gcompmgr makes playing with Xcompmgr alot more fun...
