Got beryl working.  Had left the kde command at the end of the gdm
script (the script had both, I did not remove the kde one).

Well got it kind of working.  Have found it slows down my system
(without showing cpu usage in cpu meter) and every so ofter the screen
goes black with some lines/corruption.  Sometimes the screen returns
if I wate a little and sometimes it hangs everything.

Am currently using sgl/Desktop Effects witch seems to work (apart from
3d desktop switcher) but I would like to get back more of the bells
and whistles.

One last thing. The standars Gnome session is broke.  I dont get any
deceration or resize/move and term comes up as a empty white
rectangle;{

Regards,
Ben
