Firstly I suspected something like this, but I wanted to show that
even with the 'correct' installs and configuration it could still
fail.
Actually trying xcomposite now in FC3T2 might fail more often
than not because FC3 is in development, we do not have a nvidia driver
for FC3 and the 2.6.8/2.6.9 kernels and maybe xcomposite itself is
not robust enough.

Secondly I had already seen Mike Harris's addition to 
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=133679
and was going to bugzilla it 'upstream'.
Though even this might be premature because FC3 is in development
and we do not have an adequate nvidia driver.

Thirdly it remains rather curious that we get xorg-x11 extensions
that can only be seen or used with a 'closed source' driver.
