About 6 months ago I screwed up my system trying to get XGL+Compiz to work. Now, seeing as uni is over for the year so I don’t have to worry about stuffing it up again I thought I’d try again. I stumbled upon Beryl. Seeing as I use KDE I really didn’t want to emerge half of gnome to get gconf happening so it worked out ideally. The only downside is that I’ve been seeing the window flicker bug a bit but it’s relatively easy to fix and I don’t restart willy-nilly anyway. Not bad for bleeding edge software.
