Check that users ~/.compiz folder and see if there are any weirdness in
there (e.g. old manually complied plugins etc.).

Other thing to check also is your config system. What config backend are
you using? If ccsm then check the ~/.config/compiz/compizconfig/ folder
and compare the setting of the borken user to that of the working ones.
