also i am running compiz fusion. I would like to continue this, but if that is not possible then let me know.

I've changed the file manually and through all the fedora provided administration applications. any tips?

A quick google returns that Fedora has a setup tool for this. I assume you've used it, and also checked the Fedora wiki/documentation/forum for this?
