To disable Compiz on the command line:
Red Hat -> gconftool-2 --type string --set /apps/gnome-session/rh/window_manager "metacity"
Fedora -> gconftool-2 --type string --set /apps/gnome-session/required_components/windowmanager "metacity"
To enable:
Red Hat -> gconftool-2 --type string --set /apps/gnome-session/rh/window_manager "compiz"
Fedora -> gconftool-2 --type string --set /apps/gnome-session/required_components/windowmanager "compiz-gtk"

Chris, yes, the tip worked for Red Hat only. Now I added the correct one for Fedora.
