Hi everyone,
I have been running Arch with XFCE and compiz-fusion without any problems so far using the restricted NVIDIA driver. I use a DELL XPS15 with Nvidia GeForce 435M graphics card. I did pacman -Syu few days back (i should have checked the home page before doing that..coz now i saw a message about issue with nvidia cards).. Now the problem is that when I try to reinstall Nvidia driver after the system update it says that it doesnt support ABI 10.1 and I should either downgrade to previous version of XOrg sever or look for new Nvidia restricted drivers which support ABI 10.1. I decided to go for Nouveau (installed nouveau-dri as well) and I was able to get back to my XFCE desktop.. But now am facing problem with compiz. whenever I try fusion-icon I am getting windows without title bar and key functions like alt+tab etc wont work. I double checked the CCSM configuration for window decorations and it seems fine (emerald --replace) . this is the error i am getting while running compiz-fusion

And I dont have a xorg.conf... After referring to few forums I tried a simple xorg.conf with this information

Load "glx"
Load "dri"
EndSection
Section "Extensions"
Option "Composite" "Enable"
EndSection
