Well, then the infrastructure is not 100% in place. If you select compiz
as the window manager (and not KWin - yes, you can do that in SL10.2),
compiz is started with the dbus plugin and nothing more.

I don't know whether compiz should be automatically configured
afterwards, or whether a different configuration plugin is to be
developed. That's something one of the KDE developers should probably
comment on.
