It isn't clear to me that it will get packaged up with 0.6.0, but who knows... On the other hand, just run "emerald --replace" should get you going. ccsm does provide the ability to change decorators, as does gconf editor. If your using gconf editor (my current recommendation) edit apps->compiz->plugins->decoration->allscreens->options->command robert. > Cheers!
