Only one window manager may run per X display, yes. Compiz++ 0.9 is no
exception. And yes, you can run Compiz in Lubuntu by replacing Openbox
with it, using something like "compiz --replace", or even "compiz"
alone, since compiz defaults to --replace behaviour in Ubuntu.

To revert back, you can probably run "openbox --replace", or otherwise
killall compiz, then run "openbox".
