Add me to the list of (currently) unhappy people.

As soon as you have two displays connected, Compiz behaves very strange. 
Not even simple actions like maximizing Windows works correctly [1].

Also, the performance of the current Compiz default settings feels a bit 
lower than Metacity on my Dell X1 (Pentium M 1.1 GHz, Intel i915GMS). 
Extended effects are completely out of reach (mouse moves terribly 
sluggish).
