You could try to start Beryl right away instead of first starting with KWin 
and then later replacing it with a different window manager.

The KDE startup script startkde will start whatever program the environment 
variable KDEWM points to and only start KWin if the variable is not set.

You can set this variable either somewhere globally (depending on your 
distribution) or through KDE's environment extenter mechanism.

For doing the latter, create a file with .sh extension in $HOME/.kde/env/ 
(might need to create this directory) and set KDEWM to whatever executable 
starts beryl.

Cheers,
Kevin
