IMHO, the compiz packages have a missing dependency on the compiz-fusion
packages. Without compiz-fusion plugins, compiz isn't decorating the
windows properly or breaking window management in some other way.
In short, I had the same problem, installed compiz-fusion-plugins and
compiz-fusion-plugins-extra, and things seemed to work after that.
Thanks a lot, bro! I purged the original related packages on my system, and changed the source to:
deb
http://download.tuxfamily.org/shames/debian-sid/desktopfx/unstable/ ./
and installed the full packages (compiz*, compiz-fusion*, fusion-icon, emerald), and now it's working fine.
There are still two problems on auto-startup.
1). I followed some guides I found out on internet, and changed the following two files:
/etc/xdg/xfce4-session/xfce4-session.rc, /usr/share/desktop-base/profiles/xdg-config/xfce4-session/xfce4-session.rc
I changed
Client0_Command=xfwm4
to
Client0_Command=compiz (or compiz --replace)
but nothing happended after I entered xfce4.
For now I have to use "compiz --replace" as the auto-started application for xfce4
Is there any ways to launch 'compiz' upon startup, instead of starting xfwm first and 'compiz --replace' it?
