That's why the gconf configuration is a plugin. Don't like it, choose
another or write one yourself (or don't save settings at all). I don't
know if beryl/quinn compiz has his own as a plugin (I don't have it here
to take a look) but that's the way I think things should be done. Then
pass on the command line the plugin for the config to use. I don't like
the idea of disabling/enabling one config or the other via build
options, for distro's that doesn't make much sense, the user can install
both gnome and kde, then, what would you do? Having the plugins built
and then packaged separately so you have the right dependencies (gnome +
compiz requires gconf-plugin) allows for that. That doesn't solve how to
launch compiz, but then, that today is being done by hand anyway.
