Hi, Thanks for investigating further. It seems that what is happening is the selecting one of the pre-defined profiles, in this case "Extra" overwrites your compiz preferences.
I thought I had seen bugs about this before, but I can't find them right now. Anyway, I reassign to gnome-control-center which provides the appearances capplet, and it seems like that may be thing doing the overwriting.
