Re: Fwd: Compiz window decorations missing



So... any ideas as to what I should be looking for, to track this down further?

Thanks again, everyone

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.....
