What's broken in 0.1:
- focus stealing prevention
- OpenOffice dialogs
- starting windows as minimized (e.g. for chat clients)
- re-focusing existing windows from the application itself.
- good positioning like kwin does.
- handling modal dialogs on top properly with focus events.
- displaying modal dialogs in the alt+tab bar.

shall we continue..? :-)

I actually get bug reports for things in my application which are caused by Beryl.. :-|

And don't forget all java apps! Beryl simply show a grey window with no widget/text in it.

Try export AWT_TOOLKIT=”MToolkit” to solve this "grey-windows" problem under Beryl/Compiz :)
