OK - Thanks! Turns out I did have this installed and selected to use gconf. For some reason, it wasn't working. I turned off everything, logged off and back on, then set up CCSM by de-selecting and then re-selecting gconf, and then (finally) turned on Desktop effects. All seems to be working now. Might have just been the order of turning things on that was the issue.
