I have been puzzled by your report for a long time. It's strange that this never worked for you while we always finally fixed similar problems on other machines. I am starting to think that you have something strange in your environment that prevents compiz from working. Have you ever tried with another user account (possibly a just created one with no customization at all) on the same machine? Or the same account on another machine where compiz is supposed to work?

I've tested with a new account.
I first tried with xnet then fast-user-switch-applet but it then failed
back on metacity. So i killed all my sessions before logging into the
new account.

I get the exact same output and no decoration.
I copied all my ~/dotfiles to another computer where compiz works, and
it still works.

Sad. I am running out of ideas here...

I assume all your compiz* packages are the latest from unstable? No old binary manually installed on your hard drive and overriding the packages? (purging and reinstalling all compiz* packages, and running 'locate compiz' might help checking this).

Also, in case you have a working KDE environment on this machine, you might to try launching Compiz from there too...

Has anyone ever reported compiz to work on !x86 ?

I am not sure about Debian users, but at least some upstream developers run Compiz fine it on powerpc.
