Bug Description
It is possible for users to really mess up their systems by disabling important plugins like move, resize, composite, opengl and unityshell. As such, we should provide a way for
distributions to be able to lock down certain parts of the user's configuration, such as settings values or the plugins one is allowed to have enabled or disabled

I believe if you start compiz with plugins specified, they will not be able
to become disabled in ccsm. ie. 'compiz composite opengl decor move resize
place ccp'
Also, wouldn't setting COMPIZ_
so 'Reset to Defaults' in ccsm>Preferences would disable all plugins except
the ones in this list?
