Did you, perchance, update the kernel before you restarted? Some video
drivers need to be recompiled after a kernel update -- this could be a
reason for the problem (beryl tries to start, but it can't use the
card so it defaults to KWin). To check if your video card driver is
installed, try "lsmod | grep fglrx" (for ati card) or "lsmod | grep
nvidia" (for Nvidia) in a console session. If this isn't the problem,
then attach your xorg.conf and also try starting beryl-manager in a
console and record any error messages.
