I had the same error as above when running compiz --replace on a
xinerama setup:

The program 'gtk-window-decorator' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'RenderBadPicture (invalid Picture parameter)'.
  (Details: serial 341 error_code 181 request_code 157 minor_code 8)
  (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
   that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
   To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
   option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
   backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

as pdurland say's using twinvieuw instead of xinerama solved the problem.
xinerama seems to be the default way of starting a dual head setup in ubuntu 
using the screens and graphics tool (in system-> administration)
but this can be changed (for nvidia cards) when you run sudo nvidia-settings 
and in 'x serer dislay configuration' you shoose twinview instead of seperate x 
screen and save to x configuration file.
