Logout and shutdown with Compiz Fusion

Hello,

I've a problem with Compiz Fusion. Since I installed it, when I logout or shutdown (use gnome), the X blocks and I can't work with my arch. If I connect via ssh there is a process X of Xorg with 100% of CPU.  I have a Nvidia 7600GT graphic card with this package:

$ pacman -Q | grep nvidia
nvidia 100.14.11-4

The problem is solved momentarily if I kill X process or restart of gdm.

With beryl worked fine and the problem don't happened.

Any ideas?.

Best regard.
