To be honest, I'm not sure how it works. While testing Gusty, I've done several format and reinstalls and to get Compiz to work, I had to install XGL and run an XGL session once I got the proprietary ATI drivers installed. This last time, I simply installed the drivers, rebooted, installed the Fusion components, then went to the Effects window and enabled Normal desktop effects. After that, I installed the compizconfig-settings-manager and set it up the way I wanted. It just worked. I didn't have to switch my session to XGL or anything, it just started working when I enabled Normal effects from the Desktop Effects window (which is now integrated into the Appearance window). Of course, enabling it caused an error saying something about not finding the nvidia drivers, but it worked anyways. So I've been using Compiz Fusion for at least 2 months now and it hasn't crashed once.
