Does CCSM work with Gnome-shell?

I recently upgraded my Ubuntu 11.04 to 11.10 and now that gnome-shell is "safe" to install, I thought I'd give it another go.

After a small driver issue, gnome-shell is working great!

I am a big fan of the compiz "Grid" plugin - specifically the alt+ctrl+kp_* bindings.

According to ccsm, they are set, but they do not work. Dragging windows to the sides work, but the keyboard shortcuts do not. Then I realised that none of the changes I make via CCSM are taking effect!

Does this mean gnome-shell does not work with CCSM or is this just something wrong with my system?

Any ideas on how I can make this work again?

CCSM (short for CompizConfig Settings Manager) lets you configure the settings of Compiz. Unity is a plugin of Compiz whereas gnome-shell is a plugin of mutter. That's why changes made using CCSM doesn't have any effect on gnome-shell.

If you want to customize gnome-shell, you can try gnome-tweak-tool . To install it, search for 'gnome-tweak-tool' in the software center or by running this command in a terminal: sudo apt-get install gnome-tweak-tool

You can also try the gnome-shell extensions that let you customize the various features of gnome-shell. To try out these extensions, visit the official gnome-shell extensions site.
