Listmates,

        I have the frustrating situation on a 10.3 i586 box of having lost all 
windows
decorations in compiz. Normally you just lose emerald decor, but kde decor will
still work. In this case I have lost _all_ window decorations, both kde and
emerald.

        I have tried all the usual tricks: Uninstalling/Reinstalling Compiz 
from the
X11:/XGL repo; deleting ~/.config/compiz and ~/.xcompmgrrc; starting compiz and
manually forcing emerald --replace &; kwin --replace &; logging out/in, but
still NO decorations at all in compiz.

        I suspect the problem lies with a configuration item that was set 
somewhere
when the box was updated several weeks ago. Bewilderingly, 203 weeks ago the
update resulted in newer compiz rpms than are presently on the X11:/XGL server.
Specifically, when I updated then, the following versions were installed:

compizconfig-settings-manager-0.7.6-2.7
compiz-emerald-0.7.6-2.6
compiz-emerald-themes-0.6.0-1.1
compiz-fusion-plugins-extra-0.7.6-10.6
compiz-fusion-plugins-main-0.7.6-3.6
libcompizconfig-0.7.6-2.7
python-compizconfig-0.7.6-2.6


        Then two days ago when I did the uninstall/reinstall, the only packages
available on X11:/XGL were:

compizconfig-settings-manager-0.7.6-2.2
compiz-emerald-0.7.6-2.2
compiz-emerald-themes-0.5.2-6
compiz-fusion-plugins-extra-0.7.6-10.2
compiz-fusion-plugins-main-0.7.6-3.2
libcompizconfig-0.7.6-2.2
python-compizconfig-0.7.6-2.2

        Huh? Where did the newer versions go? I don't know enough about the 
inner
workings of compiz to know whether the downgrade of minor versions by the 4 or
5 version numbers shown above is at the root of the problem or not, but that is
the only thing I can put my fingers on.

        I have 4 other 10.3 i586 boxes and 1 x86_64 box that have no problems, 
so I am
really baffled as to why this box suddenly won't display window decorations
with compiz. Having deleted ~/.config/compiz, I am confident that it isn't a
setting in my configuration causing the problem. Compiz works just fine other
than the window decorations being gone.

        The desktop is kde 3.5. My xorg.conf is unchanged. The card is nvidia. 
Do any
of you have any ideas what I can do/check to try and get the windows
decorations back? Thanks
