On 11.10, which Compiz plugins are enabled by default? I.e. I should leave them enabled for some particular reason.
I've imported my Compiz settings from my previous install and so I can't tell. I'd like to disable all unnecessary plugins because I've noticed the potential for interference or performance issues.
I don't think I can trust the CCSM feature "Reset to defaults" because when I use it I need to run unity --reset
afterwards in order for my desktop to work again (implying that the default values it resets to are not the values that Ubuntu/Unity requires).

You can delete all the Compiz configuration files on your Home Folder, so that Compiz will recreate them using the defualt values. Go to your home folder and delete then the following folders and files:
If you log out and log in again you should have just the default plugins enabled.
