At the risk of throwing a spanner in the works I want to refer you

"Hi all, Some weeks ago,
I reported that windowShape was not working in my Lubuntu Linux setup.
After looking around and testing many recipes,
finally I found the program that works in my setup.
The windowshape property was not working in Lubuntu Linux because it 
does not include,
by default a composite manager."
