Yes!

I am using Beryl and it's working quite well.

In my opinion Beryl is about 90% stable. I have some issues with switching 
from fullscreen DOS apps like TETRIS in dosbox back to KDE, sometimes i only 
get a black monitor and mouse, but no keyboard --> powerswitch-shutdown.

and Firefox sometimes opens an invisible window if you use Ctrl-N or 
something, just changing to another cube-side and then opening works.

As I said, quite good. The snow thing of beryl is gr8!
