With compiz added to Startup Applications I have found setting the System, Preferences, Appearance, Visual Affects to none, then logout/in causes it to be set back to either Extra or Normal.
I went to Ubuntu Forums for help. Here is the advice I received:

I removed compiz from Startup Applications and added metacity. Metacity  allowed me to select none in Appearance, Visual Effects, but now there is another problem: The Screensaver Preferences app when opened seems to cause momentary mouse and keyboard freezes. Also when I resumed my PC from overnight hibernation, the screen was blank except for the mouse pointer. I had to do ctrl-alt-f1 then ctrl-alt-delete for a reboot to get back the desktop. Is this related or a different bug? I then tried to hibernate again for one minute and after resume everything worked properly this time.
Another thing I noticed that after the set time for the monitor to turn off (1 hour): I had left it off for about 1.5 hours then after pressing a key on the keyboard the top panel was still blank. After clicking the end arrows on the panel and sliding it off then on again, it was visible. Is this related also.
I have now reselected Extra in Appearance, Visual Affects and the screensaver preferences App no longer causes momentary freezes.
