Public bug reported: Binary package hint: gnome-control-center
On a brand-new Ubuntu 10.04 LTS installation with Gnome 2.30.2, if I go to System -> Preferences -> Appearance -> Visual Effects and choose "None", it successfully terminates compiz and fires up metacity. Then I click Close. But the next time I power on the machine, compiz is running again and "Extra" visual effects are enabled (really quite scary, if you've never seen the Extra effects before!). This is kind of the opposite of this bug[1], in which the OP's system reverts to None after he/she chooses Extra. But I suspect the underlying causes are different. Originally filed this as a Gnome bug[2], but they said that the Visual Effects tab is an Ubuntu addition (see their comment in the bug report).
