Hello Everyone
I am running Fedora 12 (fresh install, not an upgrade...) and KDE 4.3.2 (the 
version that ships with Fedora 12.  Using the previous versions of the xorg RPMS 
from Rex's repo, compositing is working great here.  My system has an 2.0GHZ 
Intel Xeon QuadCore  processor, 8gigs of RAM and an NVidia based video card that 
has about 512MB of RAM on it.
