Uhm, how is it "not a bug in gnome-terminal"?  Compiz can not affect whether
gnome-terminal (or perhaps libvte) does draw a cursor or not.

The bug is just triggered by gnome-terminal being already there when compiz
starts, g-t can't cope with being moved out of the real screen to the
texture area.
