I think most of the bugs between Compiz and AWT belongs to the AWT  
implementation and how it draw the components.

One fix for some problems is editing the /etc/environment and adding  
the var:

  AWT_TOOLKIT="MToolkit"

I remember that nasty bug  but I think I didnt find a fix :( (except  
than disabling compiz). I used the opensource ATI Radeon drivers, but  
I bet the problem is the way AWT components are drawn, may be the last  
version of the JVM fix some problems (I tested long time ago with JDK  
5).
