I have just installed the beautiful eye candy on SUSE 10.3 and I think its simply great. I specially like the cube rotation and the Fire Effects. Configuring Compiz Fusion was really easy with the help of compizconfig-settings-manager.
As recommended I was using the kde-window-decorator as Display manager.
There was one big error in this arrangement -- All the windows were borderless and I can't move them. This way I was missing on many cool effects which appear on moving/resizing a window.
How to solve this ? Easy!! use Emerald manager instead of the default kde-window-decorator.
The Emerald Theme manager also offers some cool themes. I selected Vista-q and now I have Vista like glossy window borders. I must say the buttons look beautiful and I get to move the windows, tilt them, resize them, bend them ( yes it is possible with Compiz) and get all the cool effects. Soon I will be posting the beautiful Compiz effects on my elegant SUSE 10.3.
Stay tuned.

No borders doesn't mean you can't move the window!
Alt + left click anywhere in the window will move it so that you can see the desktop etc.
Thanks for this nice Tip.
