I do have gtk-window-decorator installed via the libdecoration packages, and emerald, as well as fusion-icon.

Under fusion-icon, if I select Compiz instead of the default Metacity, I lose all window decorations.

Any other ideas as to the source?

Thanks in advance

well your lack of window decorations is because compiz don't have
perse this you need another program to take charge of this

gtk-window-decorator
kde-window-decorator
emerald

and I stronlgly recommends run fusion-icon or compiz-manager to run
compiz instead of oinly run compiz...

there is a way get settings of compiz stored in the kde settings but
you should use google because I don't remember about it, then I'm not
be able to answer your question...

use ccsm that works fine.....
