Firefox with Beryl

I've been playing with Beryl on this RC1 box, lots of cool effects.
But I have come across one issue - I can't close individual Firefox windows when running under Beryl.
The menu item is there under "File", and I have also tried the keyboard shortcut of Ctrl+Shift+W, that doesn't work either.

Could this possibly be a Beryl setting that I am not seeing, or is this a real bug?

Update:

When 3D mode is chosen at login, all is well. The above problem only seems to happen when Beryl is started from within a "normal" KDE session, and there were pre-existing Firefox windows.

Probably not an issue.

When Firefox, or any app that I have seen, for that matter, is running under Beryl, there is no "X" to click on, at least not on my system. Again, this might be a Beryl setting that I am not seeing.

And Firefox is the only app I have come across that behaves this way.

I retract my retraction

I retract my retraction -

Logging in to 3D mode:

I cannot close individual windows in Firefox.

I can close individual tabs by clicking on the "X" on the tabs.
I can completely shut down Firefox from the "File" drop-down.

Anyone else seeing this?

That's exactly it - no title

That's exactly it - no title bars on any Beryl windows.
I thought that was part of the Beryl "look".

I followed your link to the posting at mepislovers, and looked at your xorg.conf file. My xorg.conf file is vastly different, but my xorg.conf.in file is very similar to what you have posted - scratching head now.

But the "AddARGBGLXVisuals" "true" line was commented out, I removed the comment, and I will restart x now, I'll report back.

Well, still no title bars,

Well, still no title bars, but windows seem to close ok now.
How do I get the title bars to show?

Yeah, I was root.

After a reboot, no change.

The line was commented out in xorg.conf.in, the line does not exist in xorg.conf on this machine.
Should I add it?

The xorg.conf file you posted at the mepislovers forum is very similar to my xorg.conf.in file.

My xorg.conf file is very different:
