The patch Aaron is referring to is for Clutter. We need to figure out how to fix Compiz for this. I just began to look at this, but I'm not very familiar with the code, so I'm not sure if I will get it right. I also don't have any Nvidia hardware to test this on, so I may ask you to help out in testing, if you are so willing:)

The GL_EXT_x11_sync_object extension was designed to solve this problem, but it looks like cogl (the back-end library used by GNOME's compositor) doesn't use it yet.
