Initial position isn't working because of the name of the atom being
sent to put. In state.c at line 913 
XInternAtom (w->screen->display->display, "_BERYL_PUT_WINDOW"
should be XInternAtom (w->screen->display->display, "_COMPIZ_PUT_WINDOW"
Also, if you didn't know, initial position uses put to do the actual 
window moving. So it needs to be loaded too.

This was another area where I was unsure of how to actually pull this
off.  It was never my intention to use put in this way, but it was
requested by a lot of people so I did the best I could.
As usual, any advice or suggestions are welcome.

Oh, this is such a hack.  I tried to just follow the conventions in the
source and extend line into quad. I'm not sure if I did softwareQuads
correctly, It's just a data munge to squeeze it through softwareLines.

I also put logic to ignore the active window and by pass drawing water 
on it.  It's just a test of the window ID during texture drawing to match 
on the active window when windowWave was initiated.  
I did this because I was trying to mimic the MacOS effect of dropping 
widgets and having water drawing on the window just looked kind of silly.  

The modification I did to wobbly for this was just a client event handler 
that would call shiver.  Though just like in put, I'm not sure if this was 
the best way to do this.  I probably could have just used dbus to do both.

Oh well, again, any suggestions, comments, insults or accolades would 
be welcome.
