	I don't know much about the state of the merg of Beryl and Compiz but
I'd switched to Beryl because the features were much better than Compiz
which I found severely lacking.

	The other issue I ran into with either one was with remote desktop
viewing using VNC as well as some Java GUI applications. In both cases
there were issues with displaying properly or sometimes at all.
