Hi,

If any one have the urgent need for this to work (which I have), you can downgrade the package compiz-plugins-main-default to the version 1:0.9.6-0ubuntu2. I have tried with all the updates, and this is the latest to work.
You can found the package here: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/oneiric/amd64/compiz-plugins-main-default/1:0.9.6-0ubuntu2 and install it with:
  $ sudo dpkg -i compiz-plugins-main-default_0.9.6-0ubuntu2_amd64.deb

Of course, it may break something, but so far, I've have no problems.

To ensure that no other Ubuntu update will replace the package again, you can run this:
  $ echo compiz-plugins-main-default hold | sudo dpkg --set-selections

To unhold it when you want to update it again (when the bug gets fixed, for example):
  $ echo compiz-plugins-main-default install | sudo dpkg --set-selections

Said that, is obvious that something between version 0.9.6-0ubuntu2 and 0.9.6-0ubuntu3 broke the Grid plugin.
