I had this problem as well.  I ended up fixing it by removing 
/home//.gconf/apps/compiz, restarting X without compiz, and making sure 
decoration was in my active_plugins before starting compiz again.  I'm not sure 
what part fixed it, but it hasn't reappeared.

[gentoo-user] Compiz keeps putting titlebars under gnome-panel

[Mark David Dumlao]

I have a button on my desktop that runs compiz-start if compiz is off and
metacity --replace if compiz is off.  I'm having fun playing wtih this thing
except one annoying feature is when I switch from metacity to compiz all
existing windows are bumped up by one titlebar's worth.  this means that all
windows that are maximized or at the top will have their titlebars undder
the gnome-panel.

An easy start+down with the place plugin moves the window down, else an alt
drag will also do.  But is there any way to prevent compiz from putting
titilebars under the gnome-panel at the top of the screen?
