Bug Description
Binary package hint: restricted-manager
d-e does r-m --check-composite on enabling. Therefore disabling those drivers should disable desktop-effects.

We cannot fix this in restricted-manager, since it runs as root and thus should not modify user settings. Also, when disabling the nvidia module, we do not need to immediately stop compiz and start metacity (which would interrupt the users's desktop session heavily), but it is enough to detect this at session start and start metacity instead of compiz.
