If you are running openSUSE 10.2 follow these steps to get test packages of compiz-git, compiz-fusion-plugins and CompizConfig Settings Manager.
Be warned that these are test packages, so package names and many other things will change shortly. For everyday use I would advise not to install these packages and wait for proper release. There is absolutely no guarantee that these packages will work on your system.
1. As root run rpm -e compiz compiz-gnome compiz-kde (Remove previous compiz install completely)
2. download and install yast2-meta-package
3. Fire up konqueror and click on this:
4. Launch compiz with the following command once installation is done:
compiz –replace ccp &
gtk-window-decorator –replace & (if running gnome/xfce)
or
kde-window-decorator –replace & (if running KDE)
Start new settings manager:
ccsm &
Select all the plugins you like, Add “your-window-decorator –replace” as command string under ‘decoration’ plugin. Set ‘Focus Effect’ to ‘Dodge’.
This is what you would get.

Too bad it doesn't work for me :(
I'll just wait for 10.3
It works for me! I had to tweak some things though. Had to substitute -replace for --replace and I had to update my emerald stuff. This eyecandy is mindblowing!
I got my OpenSuSE10.2 and went through the instructions here, and I keep getting an error when running compiz --replace ccp &
Not sure what is going on, but I even attempted to download all the compiz fusion stuff but when I launch desktop effects, the program crashes. I am on a 64bit system, would love to see compiz-fusion in action.
