I installed the new package from the testing repo
compiz-fusion-20080108-i586-2vl59.tlz
It threw no dependancy errors.
After the initial install it worked the same as compiz built with vpackager as per the wiki how to. Still no window decorations.
run
emerald
emerald: Screen 0 on display ":0.0" already has a decoration manager; try using the --replace option to replace the current decoration manager.
Restart. Run

It continues adding all of the plugins.

It continues initializing options including

then I get this

I then tried M-ake's suggestion
LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT=1 compiz --replace ccp &
and get these errors

Hopefully there are a few useful clues here.
