I suppose this MIGHT be a distro-related problem with the beryl-manager startup script. otherwise, feel free to close this as UPSTREAM. the xfce desktop wallpaper behaves oddly when the windows manager is set to beryl: if I click on it, it moves up for the height of my bottom sidebar; if I click on it again, it goes correctly behind the sidebar again. workaround: launch it after beryl-manager. notice that I said beryl-manager, NOT the beryl windows manager: the default windows manager for beryl-manager can be, in fact, xfwm4. it doesn't matter. 1)launch beryl-manager (any WM will do) 2)go to Settings->Desktop Settings 3)uncheck "Allow XFCE to manage the desktop" 4)check it again. The problem will be fixed until next login. You may as well kill beryl-manager and restart it but, as long as you don't log out, the problem will not be there any more.

Can't reproduce any more w/ 4.3.99.2
I've been running svn(for xfce actually) for a while now and haven't been able to reproduce this on my machine. And downgrading on the box i'm running it on would be more pain then it'd solve =/ If 4.99.2 resolves it I vote for closing it, but its up to xfce as the one who's its assigned to. I'm just throwing my two cents in.
Seems fixed in RC2. I can't reproduce it anymore, either.
Well, I get this one back w/ yesterday's SVN checkout of beryl (1.5-svn). Doesn't look like XFCE issue to me.
