Compiz and Beryl

Hi all,

Just an update and some observations..
I found out why I didn't have any window decorations. It's a separate 
program that needs to be run after you start Compiz, GNOME users should 
run gtk-window-decorator.

The problem I had after that was that Compiz was dead slow. I figured it 
might be compiz itself or perhaps due to my pthreads 'hack' and I 
reverted back to the regular metacity again. That ran fine. Next I saw 
the Beryl update to 0.1.4, Beryl 0.1.2 ran fine so figured I'll upgrade 
that. Also dead slow.. What the..?!?!

After a couple of seconds I remembered I also tried to get the linux 
flashplayer working and had installed linux_base and the 
linuxpluginwrapper. To get this working I had to install 
/usr/src/libexec/rtld-elf and /etc/libmap.conf. So I removed the Linux 
ABI support from /etc/rc.conf, removed the /etc/libmap.conf I had copied 
and rebooted. After that both Beryl and Compiz ran full speed again. Not 
sure why it was slow though, I'm betting it's something to do with the 
libmap.conf I had copied. I'll see if I can test it again when I get 
home tonight..

That's what you get when you try to do to many things at once..

Cheers,

Remko C.
