I have it working now but there are two issues that I seem not to be 
able to solve.  First compiz will start when x starts but emerald won't 
start and I get no window borders and can't move them.  Solution is to 
open the terminal window and run emerald --replace &.  Second issue is 
with compiz, I open ccsm to configure my 3d effects but they won't get 
saved, it will let me select them or unselect them but once I close ccsm 
and run it again every change is gone and the defaults are back.  Any 
Ideas?  Do the users have to be members of a special group?
