Xfce and Compiz on RHEL 9?

Howdy, all!

I use the Xfce packages from EPEL on my Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9 (RHEL 
9) workstation. I've used Xfce since the mid-2000s, and I really love 
it, but I'm curious about something:

Is current Xfce (4.18.4) in EPEL built to work with Compiz? I've seen 
some pretty cool videos on Xfce with Compiz and I just can't get it to 
work. I asked in #xfce on LiberaChat irc, and the consensus seemed to be 
that the EPEL packages must not be built for Compiz. I've grepped for 
"Compiz" throughout all the /usr/share/doc/xfce4* directories, and it 
*looks* like it should be enabled, but every time I try to run "compiz 
--replace," my desktop locks up. I've installed compiz* and emerald* on 
a development machine to test, and it just locks up. I even tried compiz 
--replace; emerald --replace from the command line, but it still locks up.

Thanks!
