Beryl now works with Dual monitors -- one big box spans them both 
(although there is an option for a box on each screen too).

For Kubuntu 7.04 fans, it works nearly out of the box.  Simply install 
auquamarine, beryl-kubuntu, beryl-manager, and emerald (the last should 
be optional).  And then, add composite switches in xorg.conf:
...
Section "Device"
    Identifier     "Device0" # depends on your config
    Driver         "nvidia"
    Option         "XAANoOffscreenPixmaps"
    Option         "AddARGBGLXVisuals" "True"
    VendorName     "NVIDIA Corporation"
EndSection
...
Section "DRI"
    Mode 0666
EndSection

Section "Extensions"
    Option "Composite" "Enable"
EndSection

Volia!  Restart X, and spin da cube.
