1they are a both part of the unity compiz plug in, so stop compiz, also you can't have one at the time. – Uri Herrera Jun 05 '11 at 06:10

Both Unity and the Launcher are part of the Unity Compiz plug-in, so to kill Unity , terminate compiz from the System Monitor.
However you can't Kill compiz and have the Launcher or Unity running.

If you have compiz config manager installed, you can disable unity plugin, witch also results in killing unity.

I think you would have to modify the compiz unity plugin to achieve that... – Martin Zeltin Jun 05 '11 at 09:17

Why not just stop logging into the unity desktop and start using the "Ubuntu:Classic" option which gives you the old Ubuntu 10.10 style panel and menu configuration? Than you can easily remove unity and/or any associated plugins from Synaptic Manager without risking crashing your system due to Unity still running in the background.
Log Out and choose "Ubuntu:Classic" at the bottom of the screen as the desktop you want to login to.
Login Manager in System Settings: and choose "Ubuntu:Classic" from a drop down menu for your all future logins if that's what you want.
