I use Xcompmgr on machines that can take it. (ie. not the five year old laptop where I notice a definite performance hit when I have it running.) Mostly for window transparency, actually, mostly for emacs window transparency, and I've not experienced the kinds of instability that other people have noted, though I'm not using very much of it, so it could just be me. I've seen some notes about people using a "cairo-compmgr" tool, but I've not really had reason to play with it..
