I have enabled 'Desktop Effects' (Compiz) and tried it out and it looks pretty cool. I was able to logout and log back in, everything is fine. Next, I used the Compiz Configuration Tool (cscm), added a few more "bells and whistles", and I did not get any immediate changes after closing the cscm dialog window. But I was curious about emerald, so I used the command-line command for emerald and cool - I had emerald window wraps! Then I logged off and logged back in - and got the dreaded windows white screen of death! Rats. There was no windows cursors and nothing seemed to work (mouse clicks and random keystrokes) until I hit ALT-S - and the mouse cursor popped in - but still, the screen stayed white. I hit Ctrl-Alt-Backspace and the window logged out and the GUI login screen appeared. Next, I logged in as a different user that did not have desktop effects (Compiz) enabled, so everything was fine. My question is, is there a command-line command or can I manually disable Desktop-Effects (Compiz) for that user where it failed (since obviously I cannot use the the user's desktop window to disable desktop-effects)? I would like to restore this user (it is not mine!) to a sane state and try a temporary user to resolve this problem for later. I searched everywhere for a solution and even posted my problem on Compiz's Forum waiting for a resolution, but I wanted to post this specific request here seeking the answer to manually disable the desktop-effects. Thanks!
