This happened to me as well....
from the blog post
"So weird. I usually rearrange my desktop every two weeks, often when
I am bored. Sometimes I want a quick lean, smallish desktop and other
times I want the whole shebang, all possible animations, SVG icons,
mouse gestures — you name it and I will already have tons of it!
Today I wanted to enable Compiz again and it just wouldn't start.
After a couple of tries that turned out to be dead ends I finally got
this:
/usr/bin/compiz.real (core) - Error: Could not acquire compositing manager selection on screen 0 display ":0.0" <br />
Some more digging around Google gave me the answer: Metacity
and Compiz fight to be "compositing manager" ...
...as soon as I disabled
/apps/metacity/general/compositing_manager I could enable Compiz again!"
