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,
