Can't enable desktop effects in Fedora 9 Beta (GNOME)

I'm running Fedora 9 Beta i686.
When I attempt to enable desktop effects (System --> Preferences --->
Look & Feel ---> Desktop Effects). The box to enable them pops up, I
click "Enable Desktop Effects". The screen blanks out and is totally
white. It then returns after I hit the escape key (it took a bit to
figure that out) and I'm back to the "enable" box again.
At that point I just clicked "close".
No desktop effects.
$ sudo /sbin/lspci | grep nVidia
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV40 [GeForce 6800
GT] (rev a1)
That card has 256MB of RAM. I've had no trouble with Compiz recently in
Betas of Mandriva or Ubuntu.
Is this a bug or a feature? ;)
Any ideas?
Curiously,
Scott
