Unable to use "GTK+ Window Decorator" on compiz, windows title disappears.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

Actual results:
Window title disappeared.

Expected results:

Additional info:
Here is the result of command "gtk-window-decorator --replace" in terminal.
$ gtk-window-decorator --replace
Bug in window manager: Could not find a button to strip. n_left = 9 n_right = 7
Aborted (core dumped)

Comment 1 Jaroslav Škarvada 2019-05-09 08:40:54 UTC

It's working for me:
$ gtk-window-decorator --replace

(gtk-window-decorator:6138): Gtk-WARNING **: 10:38:55.846: Theme parsing error: gtk.css:6:20: The 'gtk-key-bindings' property has been renamed to '-gtk-key-bindings'
Varování správce oken: Nelze načíst motiv "Menta": Nelze nalézt platný soubor motivu Menta

And the decoration works, i.e. changed from the the emerald theme and nothing crashed.

Could you try with clean config? E.g. under the newly created user. If it still crashes, please bring the problem upstream.

Comment 2 network 2019-05-09 09:42:00 UTC

I am also experiencing the same problem as the original poster. My setup is:

Mate + Compiz spin
All current errata
5.0.11-200.fc29.x86_64

Could this be related to the recent MATE upgrade to 1.22?

Thank you very much for your contact.
I created a new user and the bug still exists when I login which the new user.

On f30 it seems to work. I provisioned new machine with the MATE spin (f30 x86_64) with the latest updates, then:
$ fusion-icon 
 * Detected Session: mate
 * Searching for installed applications...
 * Using the GTK+ Interface
 * Decorator "compiz-decorator --replace" is invalid.
 * Setting decorator to GTK+ Window Decorator ("gtk-window-decorator --replace")
 * Starting Compiz
 ... executing: compiz ccp --replace --sm-disable --ignore-desktop-hints

And everything seems working as expected.
compiz-0.8.16.1-1.fc30.x86_64

I am going to check the f29 spin now (I provisioned f30 by an mistake :)

Comment 5 network 2019-05-10 10:41:02 UTC

My testing also confirms that f30 is unaffected. Seems it's just f29.

The compiz-0.8.14-6.fc29.x86_64 seems to work, trying to upgrade.

Comment 7 Jaroslav Škarvada 2019-05-10 22:40:37 UTC

I was finally able to upgrade it. It seems the problem is in the MATE - it works OK under XFCE in f29. The problem is probably in the marco-libs. I will investigate more deep.

It crashes in the marco-libs, but the marco-libs seems to be the same version in the f29-30.

Comment 9 Jaroslav Škarvada 2019-05-10 23:04:19 UTC

It seems that just compiz recompile does the trick :)

Comment 10 Jaroslav Škarvada 2019-05-10 23:16:16 UTC

The source of the problem is that compiz was compiled against marco-devel-1.20.3-1.fc29, but in the meantime while the compiz was in the updates-testing, marco has been updated to the marco-devel-1.22.1-1.fc29 and broke the ABI. As a compiz maintainer I am afraid I am unable to notice such changes - ABI of libs should stay stable during the release. If there is incompatible ABI change, the SONAME of the library should be changed.
