Thanks. Looks like starting Compiz using the fusion icon is the trick. Some 
of the ccsm settings still do not appear to do something -- "3D Windows" 
doesn't seem to do anything when I CTRL-ALT-Down and flip desktops, but 
others do, the water effect and the paint fire effect, so looks like it's 
working.

Still experimenting…
