No, he didn't ask anything. He whined about a problem he has and
concluded that since he can't use Compiz on 4 monitors, Ubuntu is not
good enough to be a desktop system, which sounds pretty much ridicolous
to my ears.

Why not?
I don't go to user mailing lists just to complain of exotic features I
would like but I miss. I would have understood perhaps if he asked on
the Compiz or Xorg development mailing list, to ask if there was hope of
something being developed in the direction he prefers.
But in any case, the only *constructive* approach (and he asked for
this) is to try and fix yourself. It's free software for a reason. If he
can't, well, too bad. Too bad for me when I can't too, but this is
irrelevant.
