Oh come on, it's a fair question (thouth he needn't have dissed Gnome like that). At first, Beryl had far fewer Gnome dependencies (and yes, depending on Gnome for configuration counts as a Gnome dep to me
). For people on other DEs it was a fair reason to use Beryl (note was ).
Rather than mod him down you could answer his question. Before the merge Compiz was working on a config framework that didn't need Gnome. The combined entity can continue to use Aquamarine, the KDE windeco. Once it's all joined up it should work just fine without Gnome if that's what one wants.
Anyway it's really good news. As much as the plugins differed at times, the core was pretty much the same in both projects, with effort expended to keep it that way. Much better not to have that redundancy. Congrats to both sides for working through stuff!
