Additional info:
The dialog in question is gnome-appearance-properties. when run from the 
terminal the output is as attached (stdout). I would imagine that the 
interesting part is:

There is no available graphics driver for your system which supports the 
composite extension, or the current one already supports it.
Checking for Xgl: not present. 
No whitelisted driver found
aborting and using fallback: /usr/bin/metacity

although, as I say, nvidia's closed driver (v 173.14.12-0ubuntu5) and
the relevant kernel module are installed.

any suggestions?
