This is wonderful work. I did some testing and found just one bug:

If one is in gnome-shell and wants to go to Compiz: after opening the
desktop-effects window selecting compiz on first go never works (fails
with usual message "Failed to start compiz. Reverting back to previous
settings") But if you use same window again (not yet closed) it works.

In case one presses close and again retries it is reproducible.

It short: shifting to compiz from gnome-shell on first click in
"desktop effects" always fails but using the same window again makes
it happen.
