Can you elaborate? If you're referring to the old-school rubberband effect, that certainly isn't the only option, and I don't think it was enabled by default for me either. Maybe you're actually seeing a distribution default configuration issue?

FWIW I'm enjoying smooth and quite snappy opaque window resizing with compiz.

I guess I'm falling behind the times. While the latest Ubuntu still does the rubber band effect (!), Fedora 10 appears to do a proper resize. Excellent! It appears that this will not be a problem for much longer.
