I have installed and tried the xmonad window manager but now i want to switch back to compiz/unity as the default window manager. How can I do this?

I have tried

compiz --replace

but i get:

compiz (core) - Error: Another window manager is already running on screen: 0

Have you looked at the content of ~/.dmrc?

It probably contains this:

[Desktop]
Session=xmonad

Mine currently shows this:

[Desktop]
Session=ubuntu

So simply change the second line to Session=ubuntu instead of Session=xmonad.

Here's a relevant question: How do I change the default session for when using auto-logins?

Hopefully, that helps.
