>From duplicate bug 373479: I have no windows decorations on start up with desktop effects enabled. When run from the command line the command "compiz" gives no major errors and appears to be working. The output is at the end of this description. However, when I attempt to run either emerald or gtk- window-decorator, I do not get any window decorations. The programs appear to start, give no command line errors, and show up in running processes, but don't actually create decorations.
There are some other odd behaviors. I can't do standard wm behaviors like desktop switching. Trying to minimize a window using the right click window menu (accessed from the window list) has no affect. Windows cannot be resized or moved. However, at least some compositing seems to be going on, because gnome- do (docky theme) works, transparency, resizing, and all. Most interestingly, there is a work around for this problem. Running "compiz.real --indirect-rendering" and then "emerald --replace." However the startup information for the command "compiz" suggests compiz is using indirect rendering anyways. Also, if emerald is already running, and I run compiz.real --indirect-rendering, I will get window decorations. ** Description changed: - Binary package hint: crack-attack + There are a number of cases when window decorations are not present/are invisible: + - Running glut programs, e.g. crack-attack + - Using 16 bit color mode + - On all applications after login - Ubuntu Hardy, updated as of 2008-03-02 - - crack-attack 1.1.14-7 - - When running the main game under Compiz (visual effects Normal or - Extra), there are no window decorations drawn, no title bar or - otherwise.
