It does all that and many more impressive and useful effects. I have 
been using XGL with Beryl for months with no crashes (despite the fact 
that beryl is version 0.2.X). The only problem is that the aticonfig 
util does not work (at least it does not work for me), therefore I can 
not switch to external display and use a projector for presentations. If 
I find a way to use the external monitor, I will set XGL/Beryl as default.
