I am 100% sure it is caused by compiz update. I do a complete restart
of my computer every day. Let's take a look at the transactions done
around that time:

[So here I did a selective update from cooker:
I just wanted to test the new compiz,
I did not upgrade any other packages as you can see.
After this installation I ctrl-alt-Backspaced, and
compiz was broken. At first I expected something
broken in the nvidia driver or its configuration,
so then I updated the X configuration tools:]

[Still not luck, compiz still not working.
I shut down the computer. Next day, I decided
to try to update my X pacakges to see if that
would fix the problem:]

the above packages]
