Trying to override compton.conf on a user by user basis is not possible with the --config flag set to /etc/xdg/compton.conf. By removing it, compton will search ~/.config/compton.conf, ~/.compton.conf, then under $XDG_CONFIG_DIRS (which includes /etc/xdg).

I needed to add VirtualBox to the shadow-exclude section of compton.conf (it dims the screen when in fullscreen mode) and realized it wasn't using my ~/.config/compton.conf.

This looks good to me. Will wait for others who know more about compton than I. Thanks for the PR!
