That looks like the KWin compositor crashing or not starting - I've
never seen that error message in KDE with compiz.

My guess is that Composite is not supported over XDMCP. Are you sure
it worked before with previous compiz versions?

If you can, enable the crashhandler plugin and provide us with a
backtrace with one of it's logs. Thanks.

NOMAD hasn't been merged in yet.
