Beryl does this to the Adept Notifier in Feisty as well. To solve that I
used some instructions I found on a website somewhere (sorry, can't
remember the reference). I have a script /usr/local/bin/startberyl.sh
that contains:

#!/bin/sh
export KDEWM="/usr/bin/beryl-manager"
exec startkde

And I also have created the file /usr/share/xsessions/Beryl.desktop,
which contains:

[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=Beryl
Exec=/usr/local/bin/startberyl.sh
Icon=
Type=Application

This creates a new menu session entry on the KDM login screen and allows
me to start KDE with Beryl(+emerald/whatever) as the window manager
instead of kwin. Because it starts up as the original window manager
instead of replacing kwin and starts before most other apps anyway,
there are no problems with Adept Notifier with this method. Plus it has
the advantage of being able to start KDE with or without special effects
in case it goes a bit wrong.

Surely the same startup method can be applied to Compiz? I might upgrade
to Gutsy in the next few days so will try this myself.
