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 like the mockup; its nice and simple.
I'd like to add one thing, I like the new setting manager but i agree it's too involved. It'd be real sweat if it could be assigned to an "Advanced" button to your mockup. What do you think???
One thing I'd disagree with is the 3D cube should not be off by default, this effect is a symbol of the 3D desktop on the Linux box!! It's to Linux 3D desktop as the dock to Mac or the start menu to windows.
The points I strongly agree with are:
1) "Beryl must use Gnome's/KDE's virtual desktop applet's settings regarding workspaces", its nice to know someone said ewhat ive been thinking all along
2) Enable/disable bryl from gnome settings panel
3) Metacity should be the windows decorator by default, no nead for Emerald, this was a very confusing for me starting off...dont get me wrong Emerald has great themes
All in all, good mockup.
