Super key + Tab key etc.... just look in the key bindings (and change them if you wish) in the beryl settings manager.It's neat when it works but I think it's crashing silently on me. So I just went ahead and disabled it.
Is this the same thing as "Deskloops?" Because I tried that and hated it.Honestly, I'd like to see the Beryl guys focusing more on usability, and not just eye candy.
@jasmin888I have beryl running fine (with a few expected glitches) on my mobility radeon 9000, and my girlfriend runs beryl like a charm under xgl on her Radeon X1300XT... I'm sure there is better compatibility with AIGLX and the like on geforce cards, but I haven't had any real trouble with ATI Cards...
ntfs-3g is perfectly usable and runs fine on 64bit. There was some problems (speed issues not data loss afaik) with transferring multiple large files at once but thats fixed now.It is a user space file system so you you probably can't boot of it (and if you could you would have compatibility problems for things like permissions and links, also ntfs is fairly crap anyway being subject to fragmentation etc), and you do need to set it up in you fstab instead of normal ntfs. But for accessing your windows documents it works great."The driver currently is in BETA status, which means that no data corruption or loss has been reported during ordinary driver use, nor found in our extensive quality testing before release of the latest version, however we are aware of certain usability issues and driver limitations which are all documented and planned to be resolved in the future. It may be revealing about the high reliability of the NTFS-3G driver that an increasing number of users find hidden hardware faults, and several Microsoft released NTFS bugs during NTFS-3G testing and usage."<a class="user" href="http://www.ntfs-3g.org/">http://www.ntfs-3g.org/</a>
"The question should be whether or not the next-gen DE will properly integrate the 3D desktop as part of the "native" environment rather than just an add on." Exactly. The future *nix desktop is not about a bunch of add-ons, but a unified 3D desktop environment. What's use full about projects such as Beryl may find their way into KDE, Gnome, XFCE, etc.Now, I'm sure they'll always be add-ons like this, and the "regular" desktops will be more modest (as they actually should be, some of the eyecandy isn't useful and may detract from the usability for average users)

Is it really illegal? How is that possible? Wouldn't some law get in the way of letting them do that? It is like a monopoly.
