we have Beryl! I ran it from the command line, saw the beryl splash screen..
when I clicked reply to your email, a new window showed up, but it sorta ... 
flashed in. and it has no "X" box to close the window, and no 
minimize/maximize buttons..
when I ran beryl  I got this:

pbc at Paulspc:~/Documents/software/tovid> beryl
XGL Absent, checking for NVIDIA
Nvidia Present
Relaunching beryl with __GL_YIELD="NOTHING"

Initiating splash
Reloading all options
------------------------------------
and I had to restart X, all of my windows became inactive, except for the one 
that I ran beryl from. even after I killed the session my windows were 
frozen.
trying to install compiz  doesn't look like its gonna happen.... missing 
libdbus, yet dbus-1-devel is installed..
time for church..
