Putting the configuration tools in separate packages would be the best - at least for the size of the livecds. But compiz itself seems only to work when started with gconf as plugin (which is in compiz-gnome). A simple: compiz --replace & kde-window-decorator --replace & seems not to work. I may be wrong in that, because it was only a quick test today.

Good to know. Thanks.

There seems to be a backend being developed at: http://gitweb.opencompositing.org/?p=fusion/compizconfig/compizconfig-backend-kconfig;a=summary But (again) I haven't tested this (yet) and cannot say if it's usuable. There's also existing an inofficial repo containing these configuration tools: http://wiki.kagesenshi.org/moin.fcgi/CategoryPackages/CompizFusion Maybe he is willing to package them directly in Fedora.
