You just proved my point. It replaces/kills KWin. KWin is an essential part of KDE. If it's missing, it's no longer KDE that you're using, it's some hybrid. GNOME differs because it supports and is designed able to handle changing the window manager.
All I know is that I'm am running the KDE desktop with Beryl and it's very cool eye candy for the desktop, KDM or not. Pardon me for being a little behind but I have never seen or read anything about Beryl until now so I'm still getting "up to speed" on it.

KWin does two noticible things for KDE:
Draws the frame around a window and allows you to move windows Implements the GUI Alt-Tab and Ctrl-Tab popups.
That's it.
Beryl implements those things itself. So when you run them in place of KWin, it works just fine. Just like it works just fine in place of Metacity.
On Sabayon, no. Beryl has its own set of themes that are fully changeable. The Theme Manager is called Emerald.
