There isn't really an "easy" way ;-P
The way I have just recently finished setting up is by creating a
.xsession file in my home directory, with the contents:

gnome-window-decorator &
compiz --indirect-rendering gconf &
exec gnome-session

and making that file executable.  Next time you log in, compiz will be
running as the default window manager.  I'm running a hybrid rawhide/FC5
machine and gnome-session manager sits for quite a while waiting for
metacity to start, but this may not be the case in rawhide.  So far, it
seems to work well and the issues I have *may* be caused by the hybrid
setup I'm running.
