I had problems with compiz (too buggy) and found the solution in another post where an url was given:
openSUSE 11.1 Compiz & NOMAD (xrdp) | Ben Kevan's Blog
So I clicked compiz-fusion-gnome.ymp from here
Index of /repositories/X11:/XGL/openSUSE_Factory and this includes compiz-icon. If you use kde there are compiz-fusion-kde.ymp's available as well.
Compiz now works much better, but emerald now doesn't work anymore
