compiz-fusion launch error

I get weird Fatal errors when launching fusion-icon under KDE and XFCE4:

$ fusion-icon
* Detected Session: kde
* Searching for installed applications...
* No GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap with direct rendering context
... nor with indirect rendering, this isn't going to work!
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/fusion-icon", line 57, in <module>
    from FusionIcon.interface import choose_interface
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/FusionIcon/interface.py", line 23, in <module>
    import start
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/FusionIcon/start.py", line 64, in <module>
    env.set()

    if not self.Xgl and self.glx_vendor == 'NVIDIA Corporation':
AttributeError: Environment instance has no attribute 'glx_vendor'

I don't understand about the NVIDIA bit, since I use ATI! And I've searched for similar problems and non of the solutions helped, i.e.: run with dbus-launcher and another one run with LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT=1 or something.

Edit:
and running "compiz --replace ccp" (don't know what's that for but I found a suggestion of it) gave me this error and it crashes my window decorator:

$ compiz --replace ccp
ERROR: DDX driver fingerprint mismatch: got 0x7C74F55B, but expected 0x3EFCAB91
libGL error: InitDriver failed
compiz (core) - Fatal: GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap is missing

Re: compiz-fusion launch error

Are you using fglrx 8.42.3 and xorg-server 1.4?
Because that combination doesn't work, as far as I have seen.
I don't know if the problem lies within fglrx or xorg-server.

Re: compiz-fusion launch error

# pacman -Q | grep fglrx
fglrx 8.42.3-1
fglrx-utils 8.42.3-1

# pacman -Q | grep xorg-server
xorg-server 1.4-5
xorg-server-utils 1.0.4-2

You're creepy.
So you suggest I remove flgrx?

Re: compiz-fusion launch error

Depending on your card, you could try one of the open-source drivers.
Or you can hope and wait for the next fglrx release (as I am doing (a) ).
