The issue with nouveau (AFAIK) is twofold:
  1. Nvidia has not provided documentation for open source developers to support all GPUs fully; and
  2. There are not enough developers working on nouveau so it lags behind even more.

Title:
  [nouveau] Text alpha blending is broken with nouveau

Status in xserver-xorg-video-nouveau package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: compiz

  Where just the font should be fading out, the whole window decoration
  becomes transparent where the font should be and you can see through
  the decoration to what ever is below the title bar. See the attached
  screen-shot.

  I'm using libgl1-mesa-dri-experimental and the nouveau driver.
