Hey John,
Ok well I see the option when I login...but it doesn't actually start
the "beryl-manager".  
I added the first file in the .kde/Autostart by navigating to it in the
GUI not the terminal I created this file by right mouse clicking and
choosing "create new text file....does it matter?
Here is the contents of that file.

 
#!/bin/bash

if [ $DESKTOP_SESSION == "beryl-kde" ]; then
        /usr/bin/beryl-manager
fi



The saved name of this file within the Autostart folder is "beryl.sh"


The other file is located in usr/share/xsessions and is named
"beryl-kde.desktop".  This file contains:


[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=Beryl-KDE
Comment=This session starts KDE using beryl as window manager
Exec=/usr/bin/startkde
Icon=
Type=Application



Is this correct, or should the "Exec=/usr/bin/startkde" be something
else?

Thanks again John
Chris
