It still doesn't work for me in karmic.
I have a Radeon controller:
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: ATI Technologies Inc RV280 [Radeon
9200 PRO] [1002:5960] (rev 01)
Only one user can have the desktop effects enabled.
If I run compiz --replace on second user account I get the message:
Please file a new bug against the ati driver with specific details on
your video card as this is now completely a driver issue.

@Jacob, yes on the computer where I have several accounts, it's an Intel
graphic card.

I'm seeing a similar issue -- the user on the second simultaneously
started X server does not get Compiz effects. In fact they don't get any
3D acceleration at all, and there may also be problems with movie
playback.
Comparing ~/.xsession-errors for the two users, the point of divergence
is just
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-
intel/+bug/269509/comments/12 suggests that inability to get
acceleration on more than one X server simultaneously is a well-known
issue with Intel graphics. However, I'm still searching for a more
convincing record of this known issue.
Oh, and in answer to my question does this case (Compiz on two
simultaneous X servers) work for anyone, with any graphics hardware?:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-
intel/+bug/312137/comments/2 suggests that it does.
