Beryl stopped working

Wed Aug 1 17:03:12 UTC 2007

I realize this is the same problem I ran into
when I first installed Beryl and finally got it to work.

That time I hade to create a new user to get it work, so I tried to do the
same thing now, created a new user - and it worked right away. So the
question is, what is causing this?

I don't feel like creating a new user every two weeks just cause Beryl
refuses to work. Does it have something with KDE to do? All theories are
welcome and I will happily try to hopefully find a solution.
