It's supposed to.
And then the alternative window manager with the effects is supposed to start
up. The best I can recommend is to look in log files, and if necessary, print
out a copy of the compiz-start script and run the commands manually, one by one,
(with debugging or verbose mode turned on if available).

As far as I know, compiz was originally only a metacity (the Gnome WM)
replacement, and you may have to jump through extra hoops for KDE. You might want
to give the compiz fork "Beryl" a try.
