Compiz -- No shadows with new kernel?

Question

I know there have been random posts about this, but I was wondering if anybody has had any updates, since nobody has said anything for a few weeks.
Basically speaking, I have the problem where nVidia 169.12 + 2.6.24 = no shadows or, occasionally, off-color, faint shadows that you can barely see.  All other aspects of Compiz work just fine--and in fact, the shadows worked fine a few weeks ago when I had 64-bit Arch installed.  However, I got tired of the hassle that was Java et al., and switched to 32-bit.  However, like I said, I have yet to see any shadows at all.  All other window decorations work--just not shadows.
Direct rendering, etc., is all working... hardware acceleration is not the issue.
I've recompiled the kernel, used both the Thinkpad kernel (kernel26tp) and the Zen kernel (kernel26-zen), but I still have the same problem.  Does anybody have a solution?
EDIT: Added my xorg.conf config file, for what its worth...

Sorry to double-post, but here are just a few posts--the last one is exactly the same problem, and neither the OP or I have found any solutions.
