Probably, I never player with this things. But don't get too happy about 
xcompmgr.

It is old, it is buggy (depending on the options you use) and it doesn't use any
hardware acceleration. It will eat your cpu if you need to move a bin window
from one page to another. It was just a tool designed to showcase xcomposite,
xdamage and all the new technologies that arised in xorg. But it is just that:
a toy.
