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?
compiz-manager could not replace ccsm because it is (as you said) only a
launcher script. The intention was to add a similar functionality as
(Gnome's) desktop-effects for KDE users with kde-desktop-effects.sh in
compiz-kde. compiz-manager is used to start compiz.
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....
ccsm would be a replacement for beryl-settings. It likely will be available as
an update for f8:

Is yet only gconf customizable on f8 or do I miss anything?
There's also the "ini"-Backend and kconfig. The last one would also be
available as an update for f8:

Packages I have right now are:

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
What do you mean with GL Desktop? The nvidia based counterpart for aiglx/xgl?
