Chris,

        Here is how i got 0.7.8 working. However, I was never able to get 
emerald
themes to work.

(1) Uninstall compiz from the command line:

sudo rpm -e $(rpm -qa | grep compiz) $(rpm -qa | grep ccsm) fusion-icon

        or as root, just:

rpm -e $(rpm -qa | grep compiz) $(rpm -qa | grep ccsm) fusion-icon

(2) If enabled in yast -> software management, _disable_ the X11:/XGL
repository and _enable_ the X11:/Compiz repository.

(3) Log out and log back in (just to restart kdm)

(4) Got to yast -> software management; Search 'compiz'; install:

compiz
compizconfig-settings-manager
compiz-emerald
compiz-emerald-themes
compiz-fusion-kde
compiz-fusion-plugins-extra
compiz-fusion-plugins-main
compiz-kde
compiz-manager
libcompizconfig
python-compizconfig

(5) Yast - user management; create new user, doesn't matter what name
'testuser' works fine;

(6) logout & log back in as 'testuser'

(7) open konsole and issue the command:

compiz-manager --replace &

(8) once compiz starts, configure it with compizconfig-settings-manager the way
you like it. Once set, then open konsole and as root or with sudo:

cp -a /home/testuser/.xcompmgrrc /home/youruser && \
cp -a /home/testuser/.config/compiz /home/youruser/.config

(9) logout of testuser and log in as you. compiz should now work as you.
(compiz-manager --replace &)  If you find out how to get emerald to work, then
call me. None of the troubleshooting stuff works.
