From reading the ubuntu bug report ( https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/compiz/+bug/269904 ) on the issue I don't think the patch solves the problem completely. At most it makes the problem less likely to appear from what I read.
There may be side effects for people using other drivers.

Is there any word from the compiz people on this issue? (I could not find any except from one comment on the nvidia forums that it does not fix the problem completely).

Please provide more information if you think this patch should be applied.

ps. I don't see any problems on my workstation with compiz & nvidia using nvidia beta drivers

Just a note I'll close this in the coming week if there is no user input.
