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
Mass

    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.....
