Hi,

I just installed beryl-0.1.4 following http://wiki.gentoo-xeffects.org/Beryl . But if I use beryl as KDEWM (KDEWM=beryl), my windows have no decorations, and I cannot move and resize them. Nevertheless the beryl visual effects works fine. I tried to choose a theme using emerald-theme-manager, but nothing happened when I choose a theme.

My video card is nVidia 7600GS.
My xorg-server is compiled with aixgl USE flag.
In my xorg.conf file:

I'm no expert on KDE but have you tried selecting different window decorators through beryl-manager?

Yes I tried. The beryl-manager tray icon menu contains three items about decorations:

1. Emerald theme manager
2. Reload Window Decorator
3. Select Window Decorator
- Standard Beryl Decorator (Emerald)
- GTK Window Decorator

Nothing works.

Have you tried installing Aquamarine(Uses KWIN themes in Beryl) and giving that a try?

I already tried.
I can't find aquamarine in Gentoo portage tree, so I installed it manualy, but it doesn't help.

See I had this same issue in KDE which is why I went back to XFce4. But I had this with the latest Beryl too. :cry:

OK. I found the sollution

KDEWM=/usr/bin/beryl-manager

instead

KDEWM=beryl

and everithing works fine.
