If we attend to the information of the wiki page, there is only one 
package that is missing ("compiz-fusion-plugins-main"), while you have 
"compiz-plugins". The rest are all installed.

Xorg log looks right (the most important part here is ensuring aiglx 
extension is enabled which it is).

So, what's left? :-? Let's go to CCSM, the Compiz control center.

Can you see there under "Desktop" section the cube plugins (rotate, 
desktop...) as checked?

If yes, recheck (under CCSM Effects section) that windows borders, 
resizing and moving windows are all enabled.
