Getting Compiz to autostart can be a little "twitchy" -- I've had my challenges doing that too. I have a .kderc script that (a) starts Conky and then (b) starts Compiz. I run it from Alt-F2 after the system is booted. It works more reliably this way than trying to save the script in System Settings > Advanced > Autostart.
Your kderc script - Does it use 'compiz --replace'?
I can get this running just fine if I place an entry in the ~/.kde/Autostart directory. But I'm trying to avoid the whole kill process to get another going situation.
I'm not really a compiz expert, sith. As I understand things, with Kubuntu or KDE, you get the default window manager, which is kwin. So, you have your standard Kubuntu system and kwin.
If you install the set of Compiz packages, and assuming you have a graphics GPU that is able to support compositing and GLX, then you can change from kwin to compiz, using the command above.
So if you have changed to compiz, and you need to change back to kwin, you have to issue
