I'm going nuts trying to keep compiz from running every time I launch
Gnome, KDE or XFCE. In Gnome, enable desktop effects is NOT set as
enabled. However in Gnome Compiz Preferences "Enable GL Desktop" is
checked. If I uncheck it, compiz is turned off for this session. If I
log out and log back in, it's checked again! I tried uninstalling all
of the compiz-related RPMs and then Gnome refused to go back to using
Metacity. I don't want it coming on all the time. I don't want it
coming on automatically in KDE and I ESPECIALLY don't want it coming on
in XFCE. If I'm using XFCE it means I want a low impact desktop.


Yet not matter what I do, I'm not the master of my desktop. This is
annoying the heck out of me. And when I go into gconf-editor and go to
apps->gnome-session-rh for window_manager it says metacity, not compiz!


I tried to get help on LQ,
(http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-desktop-74/gnome-has-become-dependent-upon-compiz-630062/)
but to no avail as the Gentoo guy didn't know where to look in Fedora.


Any help here would be EXTREMELY appreciated.

Thanks,

It's already disabled. something is starting it post loading into the
WM, that's why it's loading in KDE and XFCE which do not depend on gconf....
