CentOS - Aug 2009 - Compiz window manager?

Has anyone here tried the Compiz window manager under CentOS 5? I just 
thought I might give it a go, but when I executed "compiz --replace",
I
got a segfault. This was using the version from the CentOS yum 
repositories, and logged in to the GNOME desktop. My graphics driver is 
the proprietary one from NVIDIA. I tried adding

    Option      "AddARGBGLXVisuals" "True"
    Option      "DisableGLXRootClipping" "True"

to xorg.conf as this was suggested somewhere on the net, but it didn't 
make any difference.

Any ideas what's wrong?

I'm using it, on all my desktop PCs, and two of these have different 
NVidia cards. The lines you describe must indeed be in xorg.conf, 
otherwise you'll have no window decorations.

But to activate Compiz, you just have to go to Preferences>Desktop 
effects in GNOME, and click on "Activate". That's all there is to
do.
