I don't know what "remote X for compiz" is meant to mean. But I don't have any reason to believe that we intentionally broke compiz between F14 and now; if it worked in F14 it still should. If it doesn't, bugzilla's -> that way. The entire GNOME2 desktop session including compiz last was confirmed to work Fedora ~12 with a remote X server and all traffic through a ssh tunnel. Performance was surprisingly good, even with animated flash on the sides of a spinning cube. It actually reduced the amount of bandwidth going over the wire between the X clients and remote X server. Fedora 14 and RHEL6 compiz fails with an error message. I don't have the error message handy.
