Having split compositing / window manager is just not really possibile
for a number of reasons (David stated them in a rather long mail). At
least not if the composite manager is a bit more involved, like compiz
is.
Maybe someone produces a stand-alone compositing manager in the future
with less possible effects. Right now I think nobody is working on that.
