Changed in 2.23.91-0.20080828.1.fc10.i386, again.

$ gconftool-2 --get /desktop/gnome/session/required-components/windowmanager
compiz

$ cat /usr/bin/gnome-wm | grep windowmanager
# If this is not set, we search a list of known windowmanagers and use
# /desktop/gnome/session/required-components/windowmanager
    WINDOW_MANAGER=`gconftool-2 --get /desktop/gnome/session/required-components/windowmanager 2> /dev/null`

Can you summarize exactly what the bug is here and what you think should be fixed?

It is hard to tell how this bug should be triaged

default gconf windowmanger value was changed in new gnome-session version.
Then, desktop-effects doen't use the gconf value.( current desktop-effects uses /apps/gnome-session/rh/window_manager.)
).
So, although click "Enable desktop effects" button on dektop-effects, gnome doesn't start with compiz at next login.

Thanks! that is much clearer.  I think the summary should reflect your last sentence which is really the punch line :)  I'll change it.
