Well I checked, and CCSM does not and did not have the Ubuntu Unity
Plugin checked or enabled.

However, at the very bottom of the CCSM window under the category
"Uncategorized" was "Unity Grab Handles" and it was checked, but not by
me.  When I unchecked it Compiz crashed immediately, the Launcher
disappeared, and many CCSM settings were changed, presumably  to
whatever logging in to Unity (with screen1 enabled) and then logging
back into Gnome Classic/fallback (GCF).

I reset the CCSM settings to my standard (used in two other systems) and
there was no change⋯the general option desktop size was change to 1x4
but the desktop remained at 2x2.  After logging out and logging back
into GFC the desktop presented with 1x4 and the Desktop cube and 3D
windows worked as before the logging in and out of Unity, then into GCF.

So I would claim that something to do with logging in and out of Unity
with a 2nd monitor clobbered Compiz settings and defeats CCSM from
effectively changing them.  Only by unsetting the surreptitiously set
"Unity Grab Handles" does the system recover normal operation after
logging out and logging in in GCF (and possibly crashing Compiz).

I would also argue that this is not a user configuration error, but is
an error caused by Unity clobbering compiz setting an defeating CCSM
when logging out and then into GCF ⋯ which I would say is a deficiency
in Unity Implementation, that is changing things without notice and not
restoring them when used by other elements of the system is at best poor
practice.

"User error" may be a general purpose panacea but it does not always fit
the bill.

Do I need to file a new bug with this anonymous behavior?
