Odd but true: delete /usr/$LIB/libIndirectGL.so.1. $LIB is either lib
(on my system) or lib64? Then compiz will start. The mystery I have is
why this file (a link) keeps coming back after reboots. Some entity want
to keep remaking this link. This solves the issue above. I do not know
about the issue below. Maybe they follow after the error above?

Please ignore this rant:

I suspect it is a problem because I have some incorrect mixture of Xgl
and the nvidia driver. The descriptions I have seen thus far of the
interaction between the two leave me less than informed. Developers have
spent a zillion hours getting all this to work, but have dropped the
ball in describing the great thing they have done in language understood
by the great unwashed masses. Too many 2 or 3 letter abbreviations are
used that assume one spends time working with X graphics.
