X11, Window Managers The Beryl project has won a lot of press time so far with its impressive tricks -- even more than its slower-evolving daddy, Compiz. There are several lose ends to Beryl's core engine and incompatibilities with existing applications or technologies. However, something that really put off a lot of people when they try Beryl is its dreadful settings manager.

I also wonder why they didn't add a searchbar like most KDE and Mac OSX (like how Spotlight searches in preferences) preference apps have during the other re-design. It seems like that would help even the power users.

Ars Technica just did a review of Beryl and I have to say I'm pretty embarrassed for Mac OS X and Windows users hearing it called "revolutionary" when the options panel looks like it does. It just reinforces every stereotype about Linux.
