what do you mean by ` no effects`?
have you added the plugins to compiz?

How are you loading compiz? Did you import the gconf schemas? If you launch gconf-editor do you see the entry for compiz?

You could try adding --replace after gnome-window-decorator, but shouldn't have to. When you ran the command did compiz load / start working?
