You really don't know programming to make that statement. ONE file makes it 
bloated?  (it's all GTK+ GUI written in C, writing GTK widgets in pure C 
without glade and stuff tends to make code bigger).

Look Fabio, beryl is a friendly fork, It's not meant to punish compiz. If you 
noticed, I've been making beryl support gtk-window-manager as one of the 
supported decorators. Debian will soon have beryl and it will support 
gtk-window-decorator also (once I do some more cleanups to the packaging). 
David is doing a great job. And, truth be told, forks foster competition but 
it also creates new ideas that both compiz and beryl benefit from.

I would certainly like beryl's plugins to go into compiz of course as long as 
the ABIs don't dirverge too much.
