I resolved the issue:
For some reason when I upgraded to Lucid all the Nvidia drivers were
installed so they were loading with each bootup and then basically
crashing. So the solution was to completely uninstall all Nvidia
packages, reboot the system and EUREKA – now Desktop Effects work 100%.

'SKIP_CHECKS=yes compiz' does not work for me either!
Is this issue being worked on? As I understand it a fair few are having
this issue with other gfx cards as well ...

Ah, Compiz doesn't support your graphics card, I have the same one and
this happed to me a while ago, you have to go into terminal and type
'SKIP_CHECKS=yes compiz', sadly there is no fix for it.
