@Tim - re comment #145:

Thanks for that:
"You can gain access remotely by SSH'ing to the device and running:
DISPLAY=:0 metacity --replace &"

That works. However there is a problem when switching the target machine
back to compiz. I have three workspaces on the target & switch it back
using:

DISPLAY=:0 compiz --replace &

Window Switcher defaults to only 2 workspaces. Checking preferences on WS on the target machine still shows 3 workspaces, but only 2 are available. The only way to get it back to three (as far as I can figure out) is for the target to use System|Preferences|Appearance|None then Extra. Following that the original 3 workspaces are restored. 
Any suggestions on what to change in 'DISPLAY=:0 compiz --replace &' to restore the original number of workspaces?
