It attempts to start, but then all windows are left without any decorations and keyboard input is disabled on kde4. The first time I tried, the plasma panel died leaving me with no way to get kwin back other than finding a black spot on the desktop and logging out. Next attempt, plasma panel stayed with me and changing back and forth from kwin to compiz and back is easily done with fusion-icon. (I put a shortcut on my desktop to 'kwin --replace &' just in case)

Update, I've found that disabling the 'png' plugin under the 'Image
Loading' section "fixes" the issue, at least compiz loads up and runs
like it used to. Something must have gone wrong with the
libpng-related rebuild. Bug report time?
