I had beryl (SVN) installed (on my Gentoo 64-bit box) working all nicely. After I updated my system (emerge --update --deep world) it no longer works - but breaks GNOME. When it loads, beryl works fine (the desktop cube), but GNOME starts playing up. The GNOME-panel doesn't respond, when I try open stuff on my desktop it doesn't do anything. If I launched it from a terminal, Cntrl-C closes it (sometimes), but after that I can't type anything, if I try change window (to an open window or desktop), I can not get back to the terminal. Etc

I only once managed to get it to work, I launched it from a terminal, logged in under my username and then su, then launched beryl using "beryl --display :0.0". However, I could not reproduce this

Please help

EDIT: it somehow fixed itself

I am having the same exact problem on my gentoo machine. I rebooted recently, and when I started gnome with beryl, all the beryl stuff works fine but all the gnome stuff is frozen(menu's, natilus, "start bar"). When I kill beryl all the gnome stuff works fine again. Anybody know whats going on here?

same issue here

racking my brain on this one right now

Seems to have been fixed by the x11r7.2 upgrade

I fixed this issue on my machine. In gentoo this problem was introduced with xorg-server-1.1.1-r5. I switched back to xorg-server-1.1.1-r4 and it was fixed.
