found out more:

when i start fusion-icon i had:

christian(a)linux-cdim:~> fusion-icon
* Detected Session: kde
* Searching for installed applications...
* NVIDIA on Xorg detected, exporting: __GL_YIELD=NOTHING
* Using the GTK Interface

after commenting out line 154 of util.py i could start fusion-icon and
then compiz and all effects are working!

not shure if this is connected to the original problem...
