Usually I used beryl-manager in F7.
I have been using compiz in rawhide from the beginning
Now I downloaded the recently added compiz-manager for upcoming f8.
Should it replace ccsm?  Or is it intended to be only a launcher to be
placed in session startup?
When I run it from a terminal I get

Checking for Xgl: not present.
Detected PCI ID for VGA: 01:00.0 0300: 10de:0142 (rev a2) (prog-if 00 [VGA])
Checking for texture_from_pixmap: present.
Checking for non power of two support: present.
Checking for Composite extension: present.
Comparing resolution (1280x1024) to maximum 3D texture size (4096): Passed.
Checking for nVidia: present.
Checking for FBConfig: present.
Checking for Xgl: not present.
Starting gtk-window-decorator

and all is ok with the effects.
Also cube movement while clicking different desktop...
While using GL Desktop function this is not enabled?????

Finally compiz/compiz-fusion seem to have here the same fluidity that beryl
already had many nonths ago... EVVIVA!

I supposed to get similar thing as the beryl to manage all the effects,
though, while I see nothing....
Is yet only gconf customizable on f8 or do I miss anything?
Packages I have right now are:

rpm -qa|grep compiz
kicker-compiz-3.5.4-4.fc8
libcompizconfig-0.6.0-3.fc8
compiz-fusion-extras-0.6.0-1.fc8
compiz-fusion-extras-gnome-0.6.0-1.fc8
compiz-fusion-gnome-0.6.0-5.fc8
compiz-manager-0.6.0-3.fc8
compizconfig-python-0.6.0-1.fc8
gnome-compiz-manager-0.10.4-2.fc8
compiz-gnome-0.6.2-2.fc8
compiz-fusion-0.6.0-5.fc8

with compiz-manager active, running GL Desktop I get
/usr/bin/compiz-manager: line 406:  3158 Terminated
${COMPIZ_BIN_PATH}gtk-window-decorator --replace

so the two seem incompatible.....
how one should run and mix them?
Bye,
Gianluca
