Hope this is the right place for this to go now.

I took a minute and QND-fixed the widget plug-in and compiz' copacity plug-in for beryl 0.2.0. Case somebody's already done that, I couldn't find it.

widget layer ported to beryl by Treviņo; trevi55 at gmail com:

- If you use screenlets or the like for dashboard-like widgets, the widget-layer can show/hide them all at a keystroke.

copacity; compiz version by Michael Callahan; callahan at sci utah edu:

- copacity lends legacy applications (like xemacs) real background transparency - like in a modern terminal, the background colour becomes translucent, but the text doesn't. (This is deprecated in compiz for some reason; while it can certainly bring low end hardware to its knees with the "right" settings, I kinda like it for the time being.)
