A new Beryl demo for your pleasure
Input-enabled zoom is what’s keeping me from moving to Compiz Fusion:
What you’re seeing is Beryl compositing my desktop (1024×768) while playing one chapter of House M.D. in a window. Later you see me dragging the “cube” (I have a triangle setup) with desktop alpha transparency enabled, and the kiba-dock at the bottom. Finally, you see me zooming in (I have the side buttons on my IntelliMouse Explorer mapped to zoom in/out).
As I said before, it’s the input-enabled zoom that’s keeping me on Beryl instead of moving to Compiz Fusion. Plus, no window decorator seems to work with Compiz Fusion. However, I do feel Compiz Fusion go much faster — therefore, I wish I could use it.
This video was captured with the Beryl video capture plugin, and filtered to AVI using the following script:
#!/bin/bash
cd "$1" for a in *.seom ; do kdialog --passivepopup "Starting to encode $a" & seom-filter "$a" | mencoder - -ovc xvid -xvidencopts bitrate=1200 -o "$2"/"$a".avi kdialog --passivepopup "Video $a finished encoding" & done
because the seom program demanded a seom-x264 thingie I didn’t have.

try update compiz-fusion from git now, im using it right now with emerald and i think that the input can be enabled in the zoom using enhanced zoom, check it with the ccsm.

If by no window decorator works with cf, you mean when loaded you loose your title bars and scroll bars. Hit Alt-F1 and type
emerald –replace
If this works for you you can add it to the session startup after compiz
