I have a fresh install of Ubuntu Hardy and " System > Preferences > Appearance > Desktop Effects" shows no 'custom' button after installing 'compizconfig-settings-manager'. I even purged it and reinstalled and it doesn't show up.
Please note that the alternative program is called 'simple-ccsm', NOT 'simple-cssm'. $ sudo aptitude purge compizconfig-settings-manager && sudo aptitude install compizconfig-settings-manager Reading package lists...
