compiz is started with the dbus configuration plugin now when running
kde. Unfortunately, right now there doesn't seem to be a configuration
utility using dbus :-O

I personally think the change has been a bit premature, given that it's
basically a big regression right now. You can try
  compiz --replace gconf
in order to use the gconf configuration plugin again. But be warned, the
intel driver (or Mesa) currently has a bug that renders this unusable.
It should work fine with nvidia and fglrx, though.

So choosing kwin and replacing compiz by Autostart is probably a better
idea right now.

This is AFAIK not supported in kde.
