In fact, that's not a real bug : compiz indeed sets LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT for
its own process and for his child processes only. compiz needs that to work
properly.
It means that if you start a terminal from the Gnome/KDE menu, you'll get
"direct rendering: Yes". On the other hand, if you start gnome-terminal for
instance via compiz using a key binding for example, you will get "direct
rendering: No (LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT set)".
The problem is in fact a bit more complex : when I start gnome-terminal
from the gnome menu, I get "direct rendering: No (LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT
set)" : as I activated transparency for the background of gnome-
terminal, it starts as child process of compiz. So, all is all right :
xterm, which is very spartan and doesn't support transparency, prints
"direct rendering: Yes" when started from the gnome menu.
