You could execute these commands to switch without logging out

Code:

compiz-gtk --replace

Code:

metacity --replace

Yes, I tried that, but second one ****s up my desktop (windows lose borders, ability to get focused and I have to log out just the same)

P.S. I claim no paternity on this one: It's all over the Internet. Only the freedesktop.org path keeps changing. This is the version working with Fedora 14 (Laughlin)
