Just a short reminder that Compiz is no solution for the KDE Plasma 
Workspaces, as

a) our solution for window and compositing is KWin
b) using Compiz means loss in core functionality provided by the KDE 
Plasma Workspaces
c) to my knowledge the plugin does not work with recent versions of 
Compiz (aka Compiz++, Compiz 0.9)
d) distributions are starting to drop Compiz
e) Compiz development has been adjusted to only suit the Unity desktop 
and has been proclaimed as dead on the Internet

adding support to that in KWin should be fairly easy though I have no 
clue about it and also no time for it.

Cheers
