How to disable beryl from gnome (manually)?

[greygene]

After I enabled xgl in gnome I always get an empty desktop. Now how can I get original gnome back? (System is Fedora 7 x86_64).

If you have the Beryl icon in the top panel, as you should, right click it and select Select Window Manager. Choose Metacity. If the icon is not there select Applications > System Tools > Beryl Manager

Now I can get none of those. The whole desktop is empty, no top and bottom panel, no desktop icon. The only thing I can do is Ctrl_Alt_Backspace to quit X. How can I modify gnome config file from a terminal to change back to metacity?

try deleting the beryl config file

Change the * for your username

rm -rf /home/*/.beryl

Get resolved by removing ~/.gnome ;-)

I wold have to agree with greygene... It seems to be a matter of your GNOME session. How exactly did you enable XGL? That might even prevent you from restoring your GNOME by means of removing the .gnome directory off your home directory... particularly if the xsession file was overwritten.
