[edit] Clear compiz configuration
If you want to clear your compiz configuration in gconf database, run this (before starting Compiz):
gconftool-2 --recursive-unset /apps/compiz
[edit] Remove ugly and slow GNOME's wireframe animations
You can see those ugly animations when you click on an app icon in gnome-panel. It can be sometimes very annoying. So here is how to disable it: Open gconf-editor (Applications>System Tools>Configuration Editor). Go to /apps/panel/global. Deselect "enable_animations".
[edit] Nice eyecandy with xscreensaver
Use xwinwrap (can be installed from Mikos' PKGBUILDs or Shadowhand's repo) to run OpenGL screensavers on your desktop, for example:
xwinwrap -ni -argb -fs -s -st -sp -b -nf -- /usr/libexec/xscreensaver/glmatrix -window-id WID -delay 10000
(this effect requires the glmatrix screensaver, which can be found in the xscreensaver pacakge)
[edit] Terminal emulator with real transparency
If you want terminal emulator with native support for real transparency, install rxvt-unicode and run it with these options:
urxvt -depth 32 -bg rgba:0000/0000/0000/cccc -fg white
