I just tried it out. It worked, but not very well at all. The menus
seemed to work OK, but I couldn't even move windows around without
trouble. I didn't bother playing with X.org configuration, which I
will later if I have the inclination. FWIW, I use xcompmgr and the
only bad thing about it is that it supposedly has a memory leak
(something is making my X server grab tons of RAM sometimes, though
I'm not sure it's xcompmgr).
