disable compiz from terminal

[ant2ne]

I want to write a script that will disable compiz and revert to the boring windows manager while I run some games. Then Another command to re-enable compiz when I'm done.

Command line

You could try replacing the shortcut command for the game with something like:
metacity --replace && (game command) && compiz --replace
But I'm not a Linux or Ubuntu guru, so I don't know exactly how well that would work.
(Also... it might be "emerald --replace"... not sure, it's been a while since I've run compiz-fusion from a command line)

You probably should try Fusion-Icon, as suggested, and just switch with that.
