I really wouldn't know where to start from that. I would also like to note something else. Restating from earlier ...

AMD64FX X2 4200+
2 Gig RAM
ASUS 512 Mb Geforce 7600 GS Silent
WinTV PVR USB 2
openSuse10.2
KDE 3.5.5 with XGL, Beryl, and Emerald 


This time, after my session was ended, I logged right back in, and my  entire screen was white. Somehow beryl got all screwed up, and my entire desktop cube was transparent white. I could see the presence of windows open on the cube, but they were filled with white and quite unreadable. I managed to fix this by reloading beryl and then rebooting. Everything was fine after that, and here we are.
