What's the actual plan for the kde side of compiz? I was asked some
time ago to replace beryl with compiz(-fusion) on the KDE-LiveCD.
ATM compiz is lacking a configuration tool (former beryl-settings)
and also maybe a switcher for kwin <-> compiz (Kevin Kofler is
investigating these atm).
We now have a compiz-kde pacakge that has the kde-window-decorator and
the GNOME specific bits are split into compiz-gnome.  As for
configuration tools, I'm thinking that they can be packaged up as
separate RPMs and people can pick the tool they prefer.

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. If I find some time I will investigate this and open a bug.

you have to pass a configuration backend to compiz
compiz --replace ini & should work.
the kconfig backend is not in the stable (0.6) branch yet.
so it will be in compiz 0.8 when it gets released which is too late for F8.
