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 -- David C.
