After reading your mail I have tried yesterday again to use xcompmgr instead of compiz for the hud osd without success. The osd doesn't show up. I think my configuration can't be that wrong, as the hud osd is shown with compiz. Any hints what I have to look for?
Do you start the xcompmgr with the -n switch? Does it start correctly? If I start xcompmgr without client side compositing then I'm unable to get hud to work properly.
Which window manager you are using together with xcompmgr? Try to make sure that you have the Ubuntu desktop effects disabled as they will probably interfere with the operation of xcompmgr.
