Bug Description
Binary package hint: compiz
I was one of the people experiencing bug #430694. After the latest updates that problem is fixed, but now Compiz does not start on login. A simple compiz --replace gets it running just fine, but I have to do this each time I start up my laptop.

Your .xsession-errors show compiz never even tries to start on login. Try going into System- >Preferences- >Appearance and changing the Visual Effects setting. It may be on Normal since you've started compiz yourself. If so, change it to None then back to Normal. Otherwise just change it to Normal. After that logout and then login and see if compiz is running.
