Compiz problem no border windows mint 13 mate

Hi
i just installed compiz manager and did all what says here
http://community.linuxmint.com/tutorial/view/919
also what says here
http://community.linuxmint.com/tutorial/view/1080
the problem i have right now is that i got no border windows nor any effects ,
no matter what i choose in compiz after i close the window when i start it again everything is like i had never been there , everything looks like default even the message CCSM is an advanced tool. Use with caution shows up everytime after i have unticled the message where it says show this message warning next time , but it still appears.
so my problem is that the compiz manager is not taking any of the changes.
also had problems when i type in the terminal
compiz --replace
krono@krono ~ $ compiz --replace
Backend : ini
Integration : true
Profile : default
Adding plugins
Initializing core options...done
and it remains there forever.
what should i do ?
thanks

I think you are missing the "&" at the end of your command to make compiz independent of the terminal window. Without it it will run in the terminal window and it will terminate when you exit the terminal, just like any other program. So try "compiz --replace &".
If everything works fine after that, you can put "compiz --replace" in your startup and stop marco from starting with mateconf-editor. At least that's how it worked for me.

now i got different errors , what i don't understand is why it works fine in cinnamon even though as far as i read it's incompatible, it also works fine with ubuntu but with mate i got problems.
look the errors that i get now and the terminal wont return but the good part is that after i close the window compiz still working.

Meh, I wouldn't be worried too much about error messages if compiz is now working the way it is supposed to (or close to it). Do you have all the functionality you need? Is it stable? If yes, you can then set it up to start automatically and fix that conflict with marco that causes high cpu usage.
