No. Warty uses a modified X-free Version 4.3 . It is not capable of
running a composite-extension.
Wait for Ubuntu-Hoary which will be released in April. It contains
X.org's X. If you can't wait you can download a beta version. (I don't
have the link at hand, google for "Ubuntu Hoary download".) Be prepared
for a few minor issues. I would not recommend to try an upgrade from
Warty to Hoary. I did so this weekend and ended with something not fish
and not bones. Do a new install if you can and update via net.
Then do

apt-get install xcompmgr transset

and you should have all you need.
