Yes, either use "metacity --replace &" to kill compiz (and unity), or I
also use a cairo-dock plugin called "composite manager" to flip between
them. I use a startup launch for cairo and awn, using them to replace
unity, the menu, tasks, and systray items, so I don't even notice unity
being gone. Between reducing from 2 framebuffers to 1 with a new video
card, and disabling compiz/unity, I'd gotten a few weeks of uptime until
yesterday whereas prior I'd get about 3 days of stable use.
I need to run through and try different desktops now, though anything
but unity pooped itself (sad to say) when presented with very large
desktop framebuffers.

CAN you get Ubuntu to NOT use that stupid unity interface? (Goodness,
people, this is a desktop computer, NOT a phone!)
