	If you run it headless, do you really need to have compiz on the
machine at all?

rpm -e compiz

for that matter you might as well get rid of the entire x windows system

yum groupremove 'GNOME Desktop Environment'

or kde if that is what you have or twm or whatever

          --------------------------------

The only command that I know of to stop desktop effects is
'/usr/bin/desktop effects.'
