from earlier in this thread "There are more that don't work than do
work, if compiz is stable for you just start it with SKIP_CHECKS=yes"

however, couldnt there be some sort of gui for this. when you are in
preferences>appeareance, and choose normal effects etc, couldnt you be
given a warning dialogue that says (similar to when you change
resolution): "Your computer doesnt appear to be able to support compiz,
do you want to try anyway? Be sure to save all work before pressing
continue" which then tries with the checks skipped, and if it works uses
compiz from then on, if it doesnt, nothing happens. or something like
that.

so instead of you having to write a whitelist, let ordinary users try for 
themselves, but by default have it off
Maybe this is just the current state already in the preferences>appearance, i 
dont know
