How do I enable the "Scale Window Title Filter" in Compiz on 12.04?

I'd like to use the Compiz "Scale Window Title Filter" on 12.04.

I've already read another answer which just said to install compiz-plugins-extra and enable "Scale Window Title Filter" in the ccsm. I've done this, but when entering scale mode (<super>+w or <shift>+<alt>+<up>) nothing happens when I type.

I have tried restarting unity, logging out and even rebooting, but this behaviour remains the same.

Am I missing something? How do I enable it? Has anyone got it working correctly on 12.04?

I now have this working and I am answering it myself because no other answer exactly got it.

It turns out that I had been running ccsm from a shell. I instead launched it from the dash and then the plugins I selected were enabled without me having to log out or anything. Scale Window Title Filter now works.

Thanks to Lorem for sending me in the right direction, as by trying it with a new user account I saw that it would work and it was just something wrong with my user's configuration. I don't know why running ccsm from a shell is wrong or where those settings go, but clearly it is not to the right place.
