It is a very cool thing. It makes me feel like the computer is more an 
appendage than with other window managers.

If there was an easy way to have the window manager "change" when a remote login session is commenced (and change back when it ends), that would be fine I suppose.  I'll look at it more later at home, but I figured this all out at the tail end of my lunch break so I didn't get to try a ton of stuff!

I haven't tried remote logins, but I know that when I am using Blender, 
I cannot use Beryl. All I get is a black screen where Blender should be. 
Turn Metacity on, and Blender is there in all its glory. For me, I think 
that because Beryl relies on openGL, it is somehow preventing Blender to 
render its interface which also relies on openGL. I guess we should 
remember that Beryl is only v0.2. It will surely get better.

Something I want to try is using the Wiimote to spin the Beryl cube. I 
just love this stuff.
