Thanks for the quick response. This command crashed the desktop and did 
not get rid of the effects (still present on reboot).

I did find some keys in the files below .gconf and .gconfd that seemed 
compiz-related so I wiped those directories out of my home directory and 
now my display is back to normal.

Thanks
