I’m quite pleased at how stable it is. I tried Beryl a few months ago and it was not usable at all on the same hardware.

I did run into one problem, though and I couldn’t find any solution to it on either the Ubuntu Forums or anywhere else on the net. My top Gnome panel had a strange white bar under it and all my context menus had white borders. Maybe my google-fu wasn’t very good yesterday, but the only solution that I managed to find after about an hour was this on a Gentoo forum:

This is a known issue. Go to ccsm->Window Decorations and add the string !dock to the value Shadow Windows. I had to enter 2 !dock. First disabled shadows of the context menus and the tool tips, the second stops shadows for the gnome-panel.

I’m just putting this here in case it helps someone with a similar problem.
