Yes, Xv and direct rendering OpenGL are the two big feature regressions that 
prevents us from pushing the composited desktop for real.  As it is shipped in 
rawhide, compiz is still considered a "tech-preview", and requires that the 
user explicitly enable it.  We do plan to make it easier to switch between 
compiz and metacity on the fly, so you can switch to metacity for watching a 
video and switch back when done.
