not really, though I did have to invoke beryl-manager-simple first
before beryl-manager worked properly. There was a bug in the default
window declaration in beryl 0.1.999999.1 (something like that, now it is
0.1.999999.2 !) that caused all window frames to disappear which was
damn ugly!. By invoking the simple manager first, I got the setting
changed, and then the normal beryl-manager worked fine. I am now running
0.2.rc1 and it works fine EXCEPT ....
it causes blank windows in any AWT Java apps. (like the Zend IDE). Its
actually caused by a java-core bug, but is patchable for most apps...
