The current (0.5.2) version of emerald is incompatible with beryl due to api changes.

Install ccsm, and make sure you have all of the "Move, Resize, Place" plugins enabled. Also, ensure that you have the "decoration" plugin loaded, which will provide you with either gtk-window-decorator or emerald. > You might want to take a look at PC-BSD or ask on their forums.

The key difficulties at the moment are that a lot of changes are going on with the re-merge of compiz + fusion. These are being sorted out and I should have a new release of compiz coming "real soon now". We also need some of the latest and greatest features of Xorg/Mesa, which can complicate things... robert. --=-XKgjWM2ClcCzuUFMxKQf Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQBHDRqSM4TrQ4qfROMRAmE2AJ4p3M+4wI16kMGW5BNN2SVHeh8PrACfRbtp HN2CoiSBewOaUoT6Ek2ELlE= =MvX2 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-XKgjWM2ClcCzuUFMxKQf--
