X11, Window Managers "Beryl 0.2.0 will be released shortly and I spent time the last week testing out Beryl 0.2.0 RC2 on Kubuntu's Edgy Eft. The improvements found in 0.2.0 are simply amazing. Improvements in usability features, improvements in the pure 3D eye candy, and even the Beryl Settings Manager has been improved (the layout has become much more logically laid out). As you read through this preview of Beryl 0.2.0 and see some of the screenshots, I think you will get a firm grasp on how impressive Beryl can be. Basically, Beryl makes OS X and Vista look old and antiquated."

KDE4 will have its own composite effects built-in to the kwin window manager. You can see this on the KDE blogs.

Yeah I think you will be able to replace the WM. Just like you can do on KDE, GNOME, XFCE and with any other Desktop Environment, the question really is, will you have a reason to do so? I know Beryl is great and I really love it, I can't live without it, but there are chances that Kwin will incorporate some features that we already use on Beryl.
