DIFFERENT WORKAROUND worked fr me as well. I am a novice to Ubuntu. A note: I had "compiz --replace -c emerald &" in my startup, probably because I use Mac4Lin. I tried and substitute it with the simpler "compiz --replace" and now the settings of compiz are saved and everything work after I login again and also after I reboot.
