I was afraid you were going to say that, 
When I select the Enable Desktop Effects check box and click apply this 
pops up:

"Failed to activate desktop effects using the given configuration options. 
Settings will be reverted to their previous values.

Check your X configuration. You may also consider changing advanced 
options, especially changing the compositing type."
