I do not know about compiz. But I had the same problem (only how to use CDE was starting).
My mistake was that I was using the tar archive given for download. I rebuilt CDE from git and it worked immediately. It is definitely not a LANG issue. On my machine it starts correctly with any value in LANG (well..., it has other issues if LANG is not among the supported ones). Antonis.
