No. I just got a new Dell E1705 with an NVidia Go 7800, and the transparency effects with composite look beautiful. Menus, moving windows, the transitions between inactive and active windows, etc are all smooth and responsive. It does seem a bit unstable, sometimes it will start to slow down and take a lot of CPU time for no apparent reason. I switch between turning the effects on and off... But before my Dell, I had a laptop with an ATI X600 in it. I had the same problems as you. As I said before, the ATI fglrx drivers do _not_ support composite. You can try with the radeon driver if you want to see the software emulation, but it will be slow.
