Since switching to Fedora I have figured out how to configure everything the way I like it, except for Compiz. I found that while Compiz works with Fedora out of the box, it isn’t configured as I like it, and the tool included only has support to enable a desktop cube and wobbly windows. The annoying thing is that there is a great program called ccsm (Compiz Config Settings Manager) which works out of the box on Ubuntu but wouldn’t work for me in Fedora. The program ran exactly as it should but none of the settings were applied. I started by installing fusion-icon and starting it. After doing this, I found that I had no window decorations. I fixed this by installing compiz-gnome which provides a program called gtk-window-decorator. This progam decorates windows, but it uses a very plain decoration which I don’t particularly like. My next attempt was to install the beryl emerald them engine. I have never liked emerald because of the themes available. I really wanted my metacity themes in compiz. After googling for a while, i struck gold! There is a gconf key to set gtk-window-decorator to use metacity themes
Here is the command to change the required key:gconftool-2 -s /apps/gwd/use_metacity_theme -t bool true
