yes you only have to load the glib plugin before loading gconf ... 
attached patch fixes this for gnome-wm

+1 also using ccp allows us to use the compiz-settings tools and not 
require user to use gconf-editor.

it doesn't have to be exported. just call setenv() in desktop-effects.c  
and in gnome-wm start compiz with LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT=1 compiz ...

btw. I would suggest to use --ignore-desktop-hints by default. because 
else compiz uses viewports *and* workspaces at the same time when 
started via desktop-effects ...which is just weird.
