Public bug reported:
If the GConf key /apps/metacity/general/compositing_manager is set to
true, Compiz cannot start. This makes it impossible to use gnome-
appearance-properties to turn on the visual effects, even on a system
that can use these visual effects. When selecting anything other than
"None" in the Visual Effects tab of gnome-appearance-properties this key
should first be set to false to actually enable the effects.
The error message when the process fails is
/usr/bin/compiz.real (core) - Error: Could not acquire compositing manager
selection on screen 0 display ":0.0"
/usr/bin/compiz.real (core) - Fatal: No manageable screens found on display :0.0
Discovered in Hardy.
** Affects: control-center (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
