Public bug reported:

I can load compizconfig-settings-manager and make changes to the plugins
there, which have immediate effect (e.g. enabling Static Application
Switcher by its checkbox causes Alt+Tab to allow window switching).

However, if I close and relaunch ccsm it reverts to a default
configuration of active plugins, ignoring the previous changes I've
made.

It appears that after a reboot, the same is also true - changes made
through ccsm in the previous session are now lost, and no application
switcher is active any longer.

This is an issue which seems to have persisted across multiple desktops
(this is on Mint, but I've experienced it also in Xubuntu and Lubuntu
and even in full-blown Ubuntu in the past, I believe).

Does anyone have any idea what the underlying issue is which could mean
that changes are successfully made, but then revert?
