Is there a way to edit Compiz settings in a config file or gconf/dconf?
Please provide an example configuration being done in CCSM and the alternative method.

Well there are the standard tools:
gconf-editor(GUI)gconftool/gconftool-2(CLI)dconf-editor(GUI)
All my compiz settings are in gconf under /apps/compiz-1
For you exact example:
gconftool-2 -s -t string '/apps/compiz-1/plugins/decor/screen0/options/decoration_match' '!state=maxvert'

Can you give an example instruction for doing this configuration using the tools you mentioned? – Oxwivi Jun 29 '11 at 08:09

dbus
Example:
Set to single monitor:
dbus-send --type=method_call --dest=org.freedesktop.compiz /org/freedesktop/compiz/core/screen0/hsize org.freedesktop.compiz.set int32:8
xrandr -s 1
set to dual monitor:
dbus-send --type=method_call --dest=org.freedesktop.compiz /org/freedesktop/compiz/core/screen0/hsize org.freedesktop.compiz.set int32:4
xrandr -s 0
You can read more on the compiz dbus wiki page.
Manual
See:
~/.gconf/apps/compiz-1/
/.gconf/apps/compizconfig-1/
There are files named %gconf.xml in these directories for all the settings.

dbusexample doesn't have much to do with Compiz configuration, does it? By the way, I need to chat with you regarding another answer. – Oxwivi Jun 29 '11 at 08:07 -
