I setup Compiz for my Xubuntu 17.10 based on the answer here: How do I install Compiz in Xubuntu?

sudo apt-get install compiz compiz-plugins-main compiz-plugins-extra
sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager

And attempted to start Compiz like this: 

perret@perret-ThinkPad-E460:~/Desktop/Test$ compiz --replace

However even if the window decoration is enabled it seems that I end up with no windows decorations...

I checked the answers here: Compiz in XFCE4- Ubuntu-17.04: Setup progress

How can I fix that?

Try this command:

compiz --replace

Or, reset:

dconf reset -f /org/compiz/

Then start it. It will work.
