Sry, overseen. Fixed.

Gnome has the "Desktop Effects" application to switch from metacity to compiz 
and back again. compiz-manager only starts compiz and has no ability to switch 
back to the former used wm. And with the script only you don't have any 
feedback (except starting compiz). So I don't think a additional desktop-file 
would be a good idea.
For KDE there are some plans to include a dialog which uses compiz-manager to 
check and start compiz. But this script should go into compiz-kde. My 
intention with compiz-manager was to only add this "helper script" so that an 
additional GUI could easily be provided by another package.
