compiz configuration

somehow, compiz works on my main user, but i can't replicated it in a new user. when it fails, it leaves the windows border less and unmovable sometimes it gets a bit more messed up with the position that the mouse can click displaced from the real position of the mouse by quite a large distance. At first it didn't work in my main user either, but at some point i noticed that it worked.... I'm not sure what i did, and can't narrow down the fix. I tried copying over .trinity, .kde, .config, .cache, .local various config .files from my home, but still doesn't work.... compiz --debug seams fine.... I'm using the default compiz install of linux mint 18.2 compiz works fine in mate for all users compiz works only for my main user under trinity the compiz-trinity packages seam totally broken. any ideas?
