in quest of perfection

inclusion of beryl in fedora core is really something that deserves admiration. it has added cool eye-soothing effects in desktop. it caught me not only because its effects but also it does not impose high hardware requirement like vista. but soon i got stuck when i tried to run java swing apps. because it showed only empty white window when i started java application. the reason was not so apparent in the first place. after googling for a while, i got the reason. and it had nothing to do with beryl rather the problem was associated with the java vm. i found bunch of workarounds. but the best one to me was using nested x server ‘Xnest’. i was not satisfied with this one though. hell of lengthy sequence of steps were associated with it. recently another solution was posted in the beryl-wiki. the whole process is nicely explained there. as long as the jdk6/jre6 is not visible in the arena, this workaround is most probably the best way to keep things nice and fine.
