TC - I do not want to open another bug, but I think that the scope of this one may be too focused on Tweak. At initial upgrade to 10.10 from 10.04, noted Compiz could not be set as window decorator. I was able to resolve by completely removing the package, as it showed it was being installed from Local in Synaptic.
After last update on 10/10, my system defaults to Metacity, Compiz-Fusion icon will not start, settings made in CompizConfig Settings Manager do not "stick" (that is, they are back to default after I save and close and then reopen).
Then, I have no window borders or controls. When I try to start the gtk window decorator (as per http://wiki.compiz.org/Decorators/GTKWindowDecorator), I can at least get my window borders back, but the command hangs forever.

I do get the same error in Ubuntu Tweak, clicking Compiz Settings:
