Well, the problem is that I can get very upset when people say they don't like this or don't like that, without giving any reason. Sorry, it sounds just so, hmm I don't know... And what's even more worrying is the fact, that without compiz he wouldn't have beryl. So saying I hate compiz and want to stay clear of it, gives me a bad feeling. Anyway, my guess was that it's a problem with beryl's widget-plugin and that's why my help was:
Btw: I have no problems with screenlets using compiz.
So it's logical to ask in beryl forums for a solution. But maybe you're right and it's a problem with wrong screenlets-settings.
@coz: I apology for being so rude. I've reacted a little bit to sensible and I really hope you found a solution to your problem. Sorry...
