Ben,

        I start compiz with fusion-icon which results in the command line being:

compiz --replace --sm-disable --ignore-desktop-hints ccp --indirect-rendering &

        The 2.6.30 kernel should work fine. I am running in on Archlinx with 
nvidia
and compiz 8 and it all works great. I'll have to put my 11.1 drive back in my
box and update and give it a try. The xorg I run 10.3, 11.0 11.1 and with
Archlinux is:

http://www.3111skyline.com/download/linux/nvidia/xorg.conf.8800GT.AcerLCD

        I haven't had to make any changes to it to accommodate the newer 
kernel. (Only
changes between distros is the font file path informaton)

        Looking at your xorg, I'm not familiar with the following from the 
Screen
section (shouldn't make any difference, but you never know)

    Option         "RenderAccel" "True"
    Option         "AddARGBGLXVisuals" "True"

        The only other issue I see is "Where is your DRI Section?

Section "DRI"
    Group      "video"
    Mode       0660
EndSection

        Check /var/log/Xorg.0.log for DRI messages. It should be enabled by 
default,
but check to make sure. If it isn't, just add the DRI section above. Compiz is
running great here, just the little quirk with kicker ( newly renamed plasmoid
panel for some important reason) getting stuck on kde43 B1&2. Compiz 8 is great.
