Yeah, I wrote that thing, but recently took it of the diri: It wasn't very useful (just a proof of concept) and I've seen better version on a few offsite patch collections. Transparency/compositing could perhaps make a window manager more productive, but all mainstream compositing window managers focus on eye candy. In dwm for example you might make all (unselected) floating windows partially transparent. Too bad xcompmgr is such an unstable/leaky bastard.
