The log you've pasted says compiz is starting just fine. Also, you've most likely updated your nvidia-glx(-new) package for a new kernel and need to restart your computer and boot into that kernel.

Thanks for the quick response Travis. I first upgraded the kernel, then
found that there was not a new nvidia driver to match. Today there was,
so I upgraded that. All the while I have been using the new kernel (now
with the new nvidia package) which was the state when the error was
generated. Xcompmgr works in the meantime. I'll send a screen of the
desktop when I attempt to start compiz...the bottom 1/4 of the screen
goes blank (and it is an edge, i.e. you cannot drag items into it, but
new windows open into it, and you cannot access confirmation buttons, etc.).
