Thank you for your help. > You really should use beryl from within a desktop environment, such as gnome, kde, or xfce4. To do so, you'll add beryl-manager to your DE's session and then use the icon in the panel to switch to beryl from whatever other window manager you are using (kwin, xfwm4, metacity, etc.). The next time beryl-manager starts, it should automatically switch to whatever window manager you previously selected (typically beryl). Adam
