It appears to be an intermittent problem with compiz and beryl when running 
Gnome. I've been struggling with it for a few days (Debian: Etch/Lenny) and 
I've decided the eye candy isn't (yet) worth the hassle. Abandon beryl for 
now, and go back to the ordinary 2D desktop (with metacity as the window manager).
