I upgraded from 14.04->16.04->18.04 last weekend after holding out as long as possible until the end of 14.04 support, under the "it ain't broke..." approach.
Since the upgrade things have generally worked, but after one week, my windows suddenly lost their title-bars, I was unable to drag them, bring up the window menu, switch between desktops, etc.
I'm using the Gnome-Flashback desktop with Compiz. If I log in with metacity instead things work as expected. If, from within a terminal window on the metacity desktop I do a compiz --replace I see compiz start then core-dump just after loading the 'move' plugin. I've tried to delete ~/.compiz and ~/.cache/compiz, etc, but no joy.
Gnome-Flashback Compiz works fine for a secondary user on on the same laptop.
How can I reinitialise or generally otherwise fix compiz for my main user account?

You could try to usedconf-editor. Openorgsubfolder. Then right click oncompizand chooseReset recursively. Of course you will lose your compiz configuration. Did you do something before that started to happen?

Thanks for the suggestion @muktupavels. I gave it a go, but as soon as I tried to change settings to restore extra desktop workspaces I got another crash, so I went with the purge suggestion answer and so far things seem to be working.
