@qinjuehang: I'm afraid I don't understand. What would stay? And which compositor? The fact of the matter is, Ubuntu is supposed to allow me to enable Visual Effects through the Appearance config dialog, but it wouldn't until I typed an arcane command in a terminal:
I shouldn't have to do this. Plus the fact that visual effects were working fine before, and i definitely didn't enable Metacity's compositing manager. So why did this happen? Is it a bug?
