I've been running compiz happily now for some weeks with FC6. The only problem is that there is a bug in the interaction between compiz and windows from applications running rootless under NX. I'm guessing that whatever X protocol feature compiz uses monitor responsiveness is optimized away by the NX client. I'm running the latest nxclient 2.1.0-9; NX has a bug file by someone else:
http://www.nomachine.com/tr/view.php?id=TR08D01478
At any rate, I would like to disable the "turn unresponsive windows to gray" feature in compiz for the time being; it's a nice feature, but I'd rather have my colors back. I've looked through gconf-editor in /apps/compiz, but found nothing. Does anyone know if this can be changed easily and if so, how?

Handy compiz app:
gset-compiz
I found a mandriva rpm and installed it and it was fine. Gives you a gui for just about everything compiz can do :)

Just as an alternative, I've been using gconf-editor to tweak my compiz settings.
For me it was not installed by default, but a simple
yum install gconf-editor
brings it in from the default FC repos.
I'm not a great fan (I prefer KDE myself, and it strongly reminds me of the horror that is the windoz registry editor), but it does allow you to tweak all available compiz settings.

I've already been through the gconf settings but didn't see anything. I did figure out, however, that checking 'Disable X agent encoding' in same configuration group and screen where you select "Floating window" in the NX client configuration lets the applications run without going unresponsive/gray.
That setting did kinda nasty things with the fonts of the apps running through NX, but I figured out that was due to the font subpixel smoothing; changing the font rendering to "Best contrast" or "Best shapes" resolved that.

Where did you do that? Ric

System->Preferences->Fonts (in GNOME at least)
