That list of processes has been gathered after starting gnome with the old
compiz configuration (compiz was manually activated as a startup program
through gnome-session-properties). So that's why, I think, there are two
running compiz processes. However the black screen problem is present even
unchecking compiz in gnome-session-properties.

I have no .xsession .gnomerc .xsessionrc and .xinitrd (and I think this is
pretty normal, isn't it? Didn't they become useless since gnome 2.20?)

As for .dmrc there are only two lines in it:

[Desktop]
Session=default
