i don't have this problem at all, does your gnome do work with other 
compmgrs? (compiz, metacity's own etc.)

cairo-compmgr looks promising, but is still in early days. wbar does not 
need a compmgr, and word on the street is there is a early branch of awn 
that will not require a compmgr (but i do not think it has seen much 
action) maybe one day openbox will have its own compositor...
