I am also able to change settings with ccsm (which should also be run as the normal user, BTW) and the settings are saved. Now, I don't really know where these are saved, documentation mentions a .compizconfig folder, but I don't have it. I don't have ubuntu-looks installed. I don't have KDE installed on this machine, so can't test with this. Thanks again for your feedback.
