Well, maybe you're not turn on Window Decoration and Move Window plugins. Run ccsm and enable them.
And remember to put "emerald --replace" in command field of Window Decoration plugin.

Maybe kwin crashed. what happens if you open a terminal and launch kwin?

That makes no sense. He's using compiz, kwin cannot run together with compiz

My bad... This is what I used when I was trying to use compiz and
crashed, leaving me without WM.
