WOBBLY FUCKING WINDOWS! DO I HAVE TO SPELL IT OUT!?

really, there isn't much of a point other than prettiness. i actually find beryl a little less usable than xfwm or metacity, but it has TONS of features that i haven't even discovered yet. there are some cool useful features, like i have F12 mapped to "show the desktop", where it just pulls all the windows to the 4 corners and then pops them back when pressed again.

i really hope that eventually they get some really useful stuff and focus less on flaming windows and water effects.

actually, i just remembered one thing that i really like. the window focus abilities really make things easier on my eyes. also, it doesn't really take away battery life on my laptop.

i say give it a shot if you are bored sometime. it is insanely simple to switch back and forth between window managers using beryl-manager.

basically, i added the repos to my sources.list, installed it, and ran beryl-manager.

from there, there is a system tray icon that you can do lots of stuff with, like switch back and forth between WMs. my sessions save on exit so i didn't have to edit anything crazy to get beryl to start when i log in.

well, a week or so ago i was thinking on switching back to openbox.. then i found yer thread on ubuntuforums about putting together openbox installation script(s), and i thought some more about it.. and now i'm using openbox again. so i think i'll keep things simple.

it's refreshing!
