I don't think this is an actual bug. It looks like a mis-interpretation of the feature... but there is probably room for some improvements.
The tool defines three profiles: "None", "Normal" and "Extra". "None" turns Compiz off, and the two other options represent default "sets of preferences".. so when the user selects one these two options, all Compiz preferences are overwritten with the values corresponding to the selected option. When you install CCSM you get an extra option called "custom" which lets you run CCSM... The tool doesn't store which state it is in.. it simply looks at the compiz preferences and checks their value.. if their value match the "Normal" or "Extra" profile it marks that profile as being selected.. if the values are different than the ones defined in these two profiles, it marks "Custom" as being selected. So here's what happens: - You select "Normal" ---> all values are overwritten to reflect the "normal profile" (for instance desktop-size becomes 2) - You then select "Custom" --> nothing happens... since you haven't actually made any changes in CCSM yet... - You close and re-open the tool... it looks at all the prefs.. and see that they're identical to the "Normal" profile so it shows "Normal" as being selected. You could leave "Normal" selected, close the tool and run CCSM.. then change anything and see that the tool now shows "Custom". It's not really a bug but it is a bit confusing. Ideally, the last "custom" selection should be saved... so that even when you select "Normal", although the prefs are overwritten you'd be able to simply reselect "Custom" and get back to your previous preferences. Also, a little flag could be used to remember the selection made in the tool... in case "Normal" and "Custom" are actually the same... just in order not to confuse the user. Hope it helps.
