Hi, I already have done all that, my system is running quite fine, sometimes the icons in the taskbar get mad but adding and sleep before the compiz --replacce command solves it. But my main question is that instead of replacing compiz, why not use it directly? or what are we replacing with the compiz --replace command?

A window manager is launched with --replace option to replace any other window manager if already running(metacity/kwin), otherwise it just start whatever window manager you called. Trying to run a WM without --replace will fail if another is running, hence --replace. KDE and GNOME are the Desktop Environments(DE), so you cannot use compiz(WM) in its place in /etc/sysconfig/windowmanager DEFAULT_WM. The variable name is a bit misleading.
