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.

ccsm would be a replacement for beryl-settings. It likely will be available as 
an update for f8: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=22211

There's also the "ini"-Backend and kconfig. The last one would also be 
available as an update for f8:

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