Xgl is more than just a toy, sounds to me you have not tried the latest because alot of issues are gone now.
On graphics cards like nVidia it tends to work OK with some strange problems here and there that need to be tracked down and sorted out. On other graphics cards the quality can vary wildly. It will take some time to make it stable on a widespread basis, if ever.

Including Xgl in a serious distro as anything other than an optional expermiental toy during 2006 is bound to end in disaster. Xgl/compiz crawls on quite a few systems, fails to start on many and crashes as often as win95 on most. Last time I tried it, it also multitasked horribly when the CPU was busy.
Novell, please, for once let us have a truly properly tested and stable Linux distro. I had high hopes for Ubuntu 6.06 but alas...
