Comment 1 Tomas Pelka 2011-08-09 07:00:41 UTC 
Got similar issue with Intel (Huron River). Window decorations appear but after few minutes compiz fall back to metacity.
Comment 2 Ben Skeggs 2011-08-24 05:35:49 UTC 
We don't have a 3D driver for NVIDIA chipsets in RHEL at all, I don't expect compiz should die with a SIGABRT in any case.

Can you trap the backtrace for the SIGABRT with gdb and paste it here?
