Oh, and one other small issue: Now when I grab the edge of a window and drag to resize it, it no longer gives me the little popup that shows the size of the window (i.e., an xterm or similar). I assume it's a function of the window decorator, but have no clue how one accesses/modifies it.

Yes, when you use the Desktop Effects you are basicly swapping the normal window manager called metacity, but a 3D window manager called compiz.

compiz apparently does not have that feature (showing the dimensions of a window). I guess you have to choose...
