Re: [orca-list] Indicators [was "Re: Connecting to a wireless network"]

Yes that computer is using or appears to be using compiz.  Changing login 
to Ubuntu Classic (No effects) did not change it.  If I try "metacity 
--replace" it appears to lock up Gnome.

The only reason I have for thinking it is running compiz is that if I run 
gnome-wm to try to reset the default desktop manager I get a compiz error.

So that leads to two questions:

1.  How do I tell for sure which manager it is using?

2.  How do I change manager if changing the login settings does not work?
