There is a difference between a composite window manager (such as Compiz or Kwin) and a composite manager (such as xcompmgr or unagi) which runs along any window manager (such as Awesome). A composite manager enhances an existing window manager by providing effects such as translucency or application switcher with live previews rather than icons. I think that users may want to look for a composite manager to run along their window manager (indeed any user which is not using Compiz, Kwin or Mutter), that's why I suggested adding such tag. On the other hand, AFAIK there are currently only two composite manager packages, therefore I'm not sure that would be enough and perhaps there could be a more generic tag name which would cover both composite window manager and composite manager?
