xcompmgr and fluxbox

I'm trying to get the x compositing manager running (xcompmgr), and I've
found evidence that it can work, a wiki page, youtube videos etc.

However when I try to run xcompmgr it creates what I can only describe as
flashing in open windows, almost like there are delayed redraws. Windows
will disappear and partially reappear. Switching workspaces shows the
workspace's content for half and second or so and then more flickering.

I've found a matching bug - or at least something similar that says the
problem is related to setting the root window as the background. Ala xsetbg
and Esetroot are the issue. However even after using Feh I experience the
same issue.

I'm running the most current svn version of flux, and xcompmgr is 1.1.3 form
the ubuntu repos.
Graphics card is an Nvidia 6150 go with the binary nvidia drivers.

Any ideas? Anyone who has it working, and if so what is your setup?
