Description T.J. Crowder 2010-09-12 10:42:59 UTC 
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.

The "Visual effects" tab is an Ubuntu addition, in their "95_desktop-effects-integration.patch" patch.

Thanks, will report to Canonical.
