I am playing around with compiz-fusion for a while now on Xfce4. To get
started I autostart the following simple script once Xfce is running
(which probably can be done better):

#!/bin/sh
/usr/bin/killall compiz
/usr/bin/killall emerald
sleep 2
/usr/local/bin/compiz --replace ccp &
/usr/local/bin/emerald --replace &

After that, all you need to do is to configure Emerald and compiz so it
fits your needs with:

%emerald-theme-manager
%ccsm

Both programs can be found in the right click menu of xfce under
settings.
