Yes, either use "metacity --replace &" to kill compiz (and unity), or I
also use a cairo-dock plugin called "composite manager" to flip between
them. I use a startup launch for cairo and awn, using them to replace
unity, the menu, tasks, and systray items, so I don't even notice unity
being gone. Between reducing from 2 framebuffers to 1 with a new video
card, and disabling compiz/unity, I'd gotten a few weeks of uptime until
yesterday whereas prior I'd get about 3 days of stable use.
I need to run through and try different desktops now, though anything
but unity pooped itself (sad to say) when presented with very large
desktop framebuffers.
