Hi,
I would like to start Beryl as my standalone manager. This necessitates loading some programs from my .xinitrc since beryl doesn't have a menu etc
The problem is, whenever I append an "&" to my .xinitrc line loading the wm (doesn't have to be beryl, same error with wmii)
like this
beryl &
XIO: fatal IO error 104 (Connection reset by peer) on X server ":0.0 after 7 requests (6 known processed) with 0 events remaining
removing the & starts X up, but then I'm left with a useless xsession
help?

hehe :)
xinit session (and startx too of course) ends after the .xinitrc script is completed.
i think what "beryl &" is your last line in .xinitrc - it puts you beryl process into background, when .xinitrc script ends and your X session is closed :) try to simply remove `&` or add some application at the end of .xinitrc (without & of course).
usually the last application started is a wm, but sometimes it is xterm :)
PS: sorry for my english (it's crappy sometimes :)

if test -z "$DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS" ; then
eval `dbus-launch --sh-syntax --exit-with-session`
fi
beryl-manager &
# Start other applications here
#
# Example: set wallpaper + open a terminal
#
# feh --bg-scale ~/Wallpapers/wallpaper.jpg &
# urxvt -depth 32 -fg grey80 -bg rgba:0000/0000/0000/dddd &
# Now start something you need all the time, like a panel
exec xfce4-panel
