Well as I only asked a few hours ago I'm still hopeful
what drivers have you got installed are you using 64bit or 32bit?
if your error is different then mine when typing "compiz --replace" into the terminal consider creating your own thread as it will more likley get answered
LOL I didn't realize this was a fresh post.
I have the nvidia 1.8x drivers installed. I am running 32bit. I get the same errors. It crashes my desktop. I have to ctrl > alt > backspace to get working again. Here are my errors, same as yours.
