I cannot solve your problem because I know little of X and nothing
about compiz (which I consider futile), but for this kind of problem,
you may want to know about the magic SysRq key. It allows you to at
least reboot your system cleanly when the system seems locked, and
some times can even help you kill the bad program an resume work.
