I downgraded to 0.7.4 from oss repo and all is working. So i do believe something is seriously wrong with the 0.7.8 version of compiz, at least on my x86 64 11 install.

Let's break the process down to avoid any problems caused by update process:

#as root
init 3

#log in as root in runlevel 3

#add X11:Compiz repo

zypper ar http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/X11:/Compiz/openSUSE_11.0/
X11:Compiz

#refresh the repo
zypper ref X11:Compiz

#Update all packages from that repo
zypper up -t package -r X11:Compiz

#remove old configurations
rm -rf /home/yourusername/.config/compiz

#if you have self compiled plugins
rm -rf /home/yourusername/.compiz

#switch to runlevel 5
init 5

log in as user

#enable effects
Run simple-ccsm and enable effects from there.

Now if this does not work

Add brand new user, log in to that account and enable effects.

Cheers

J,

I'll jump in here as well. I have done everything you said, and I have 0.7.8
running, however, I can confirm there is no way to make the emerald themes
work. Let us know if we can send logs, etc....
