	Aha! So that's what compiz is! It's one of the things whose 
description is fully opaque to me, but which often gets added as a 
dependency. (Fwiw, I thought it was metacity; when I resort with gnashing 
of teeth to KDE, it always claims it launches it.) 

	Beryl I tried, and immediately started having troubles I couldn't 
kludge my way out of; I now take care when running pirut that it *not* be 
installed.

	Afaik, it's quite possible that both compiz and metacity are 
contending for the upper hand, and defeating one another.

	How do I check?? ps ax|grep on that machine, pointed at either 
metacity or compiz, reports only itself -- if that means anything ...
