+1  Very cool stuff.  I recently started playing with Beryl recently 
too, and have been having lots of fun with it.  Rotating the cube, 
making the cube transparent, making a window wrap around the edge of the 
cube between 2 desktops, having the app windows stack in front of each 
other in 3D - all very cool stuff.  Makes me less jealous of all my 
friends with Macs.  :-)

I think my favorite feature, though, is using the pause/break button to 
access the "scale" feature, which lays out all your windows in miniature 
across your desktop and lets you choose one to maximize via either the 
keyboard or mouse.  It's a really nice way to do application switching.
