I'm not sure what the Nvidia driver does in that case, but

Option "AddARGBGLXVisuals"

looks fishy to me. I'd recommend

Option "AddARGBGLXVisuals" "True"

in the device section of your xorg.conf.

> Compiz 0.6.2 was working perfectly fine on this setup.

You're sure you _only_ updated Compiz and did not update e.g. your
graphics driver? The code parts of Compiz containing this error message
weren't changed between 0.6 and 0.7.

Danny
