I've attached the log output from when I added it back.

This is embarassing. Compiz was not installed. I just installed it
from Fedora and yet I still get the fail whale. I only installed the
package "compiz". Perhaps I need to install another Compiz Fedora 21
package?
http://pkgs.org/search/compiz

I've attached the log output.

"yum info compiz":
Version     : 0.8.8
Release     : 28.fc21

> Try to run compiz --replace from metacity session to see if compiz works.

That seems to work. However, of the 2 apps I tried (gnome-terminal and
files), gnome-terminal is missing its title bar. Maybe all window
decorations are missing?

I can move the nautilus window, but not the terminal window:

When I open up a drop-down menu, I can see it fading in. So it looks
like compiz is doing its effects.
