    Status: Open => Answered

Derek White proposed the following answer:
Open a terminal: Applications > Accessories > Terminal

Purge compiz:
sudo apt-get purge compiz compizconfig-backend-gconf compiz-core compiz-fusion-plugins-extra compiz-fusion-plugins-main compiz-gnome compiz-plugins compiz-wrapper libcompizconfig0

Remove your compiz settings:
rm -rf ~/.compiz
rm -rf ~/.config/compiz

Re-install:
sudo apt-get install compiz compizconfig-backend-gconf compiz-core compiz-fusion-plugins-extra compiz-fusion-plugins-main compiz-gnome compiz-plugins compiz-wrapper libcompizconfig0

Verify:
compiz --replace

If it works, hit Ctrl-C to terminate it (metacity should take back
control) & activate Visual Effects from Appearance.

If it fails, please post the results of the compiz --replace command.
