Well i guess it's probably more related to the 0.8.8 we can read in the changelog (available in /usr/share/compiz/NEWS ...) Fixed drawing of switcher background with KDE4 window decorator And as far as i remember it was not working under Mageia 1(& this patch was already available). Regards, -- Balcaen John

How do you configure compiz ? Here it's simply working by selecting compiz as the default windows manager using systemsettings ( kcmshell4 componentchooser in konsole) Interesting, that method never really worked before (or at least I never tested it). It worked since mikala added http://svnweb.mageia.org/packages/cauldron/kdebase4-runtime/current/SOURCES/kdebase-runtime-4.6.0-fedora-support-for-compiz.patch, IIUC. Ahh. FWIW, I think I always patched compiz to ensure it started the decorator for you... So a question is: Is compiz running but without decorations? If yes, then is the decoration plugin loaded in compiz itself? If yes, then I'd suggest that either: 1. Compiz is no longer staring the decorator for some reason. or 2. The script "compiz-window-decorator" is not working. That's probably the first place to start. I can't swear that I wasn't running with 0.8.8 before, but I've just re-tested with 0.8.8, and now it's working fine. Thanks to everyone who posted !
