Ok, I just remembered that Ubuntu edgy will probably set up AIGLX by default. So it seems the only thing missing is to integrate compiz into a nice preferences capplet that says "Enable effects" or something like that. Unfortunately the user will still have to learn what compiz is, how to install it and how to set it up.

I'd be surprised if there weren't alternative packages available for Edgy that did all this for you. Maybe not from Ubuntu main, but in universe or multiverse.
