There is a tray app that is only in git right now (like beryl-manager).
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
