Try beryl instead of compiz for a start, beryl has some wicked crazy and sick effects.<BR>
<BR>
Next thing, you need GL_ARB_fragment_program for water effects to work, if you do a glxinfo | grep fragment it should pop up, if it doesn't then you need to play with your GL driver. So things you need to know are what graphics card version, which driver although I imagine GL is working. You'll need to do some testing with all of this, however it may just come down to the fact you have a very old version of compiz. In which case beryl will sort your problems out anyway as it has that effect and much much much more, blur on transparency, animated minimize/maximize/open/close, motion blur, reflections, corner hot zones for cube flipping (FINALLY!!!) including the emerald theme engine (replaces cgwd). So if you really really want, you can make your desktop look like vista (I'd recommend against it as its just god aweful)<BR>

Some other Xgl/Aiglx tips,<BR>
<BR>
* Set your video output device to X11 (no XV) and it'll render faster with fewer defects on widgets.<BR>
* If you have Xorg 7.1 turn on Aiglx instead of Xgl, its faster and better than Xgl<BR>
* If you have a nvidia card, there are hacks available to enable FSAA and vsync in Xgl/Aiglx <A HREF="http://forum.beryl-project.org/topic-2613-fsaa-sync2vblank-aniso-filtering-nvidia-only">http://forum.beryl-project.org/topic-2613-fsaa-sync2vblank-aniso-filtering-nvidia-only</A><BR>

Hope this helps,<BR>
