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.
