Where do you set it? It should work.

The first one should work as well, but only for WMs with a
correct .desktop file; I don’t know whether compiz.desktop has the
correct fields.

I’ll consider re-adding compiz to the list of default WMs (before
metacity, that is) but frankly I’m not sure. GNOME upstreams have
completely abandoned the idea to do anything correct with compiz, and
development now focuses on mutter.
