This happens to me also. I am running nvidia and when I enable desktop-effects all the windows title bars,etc (windows manager stuff) seems to disappear. When I disable desktop-effects then all the windows manager bars appear. I can do this without logging in/out. package versions : kernel-2.6.18-1.2798.fc6 compiz-0.0.13-0.32.20060817git.fc6 xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-1.0.9626-3.lvn6 kmod-nvidia-1.0.9626-2.2.6.18_1.2798.fc6 Not to be another "me too" but I have this problem as well. I'm using the FreshRPMs.net Nvidia drivers however. I don't believe the problem is related to the Nvidia drivers as my other GL applications work just fine. This happens to me when I enable auto save session in gnome env. When I disable auto save session than decorator starts o.k. HW is centrino notebook - driver i810. Again, one more "me too" with driver "intel" and Intel 915GM. Haven't tested switch auto-save sessions yet. Maybe gnome-window-decorator simply doesn't save itself in the session. Could fully reproduce working behavior with auto save sessions switched off (and I had to remove the old session first). *** Bug 208370 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 216345 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** The workaround that works for me is to open the "Sessions" control panel. Go to "Startup Programs" click "Add", enter "gnome-window-director". Then close. Upon restart the window decorators are restored. So comment #6 appears to be correct: it doesn't save itself correctly in the session. From gnome 2.16.2 changelog: NEWS: gnome-session-2.16.2 Session Manager * Add fvwm and compiz support to gnome-wm (Ken Deeter, Vincent) Maybe this will help. I had a similar problem using NVIDIA binary driver 9631; there were no window borders or title bars. Unlike some commenters, gnome-window-decorator/compiz WAS running. I'm not sure what the problem was, but I was able to work around it by blowing away the GNOME config and starting fresh: rm -rf ~/.gnome* ~/.gconf* After logging in again, I was able to use desktop effects and everything seems to work fine. This strongly suggests that it's a bug in GNOME/compiz/something else, and NOT the fault of the binary drivers. I think that a good idea would be if desktop-effects just added gwd to autostart. The problem here could be that upstream gnome-session updated to start gtk-window-decorator, but for a while we were still using gnome-window-decorator from an earlier compiz version. Latest compiz-0.3.6 builds in rawhide or fc6-updates should provide gtk-window-decorator and require gnome-session at least 2.16 so they agree on the name of the decorator application. Please try that out and see if that works. This bug is still present in 0.3.6-2 with gnome-session 2.16.3-1. *** Bug 218029 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Still a problem? On i386 compiz does not work at all, as the nvidia-driver is incompatible with the kernel. On x86_64 with x.org intel driver, compiz is completly broken and does not even start a window-manager after enabling compiz. Rawhide 2008-08-24 Happens sometimes, most times it works though. I did a clean reinstall of F8 and this seems to happen mainly after updating the system. Pirut (or a package he pulls in) seems to disable compiz sometimes. I think we've got another duplicate of this. *** Bug 248299 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Fedora Core 6 is no longer supported, could you please reproduce this with the updated version of the currently supported distribution (Fedora 7, 8, or Rawhide)? If this issue turns out to still be reproducible, please let us know in this bug report. If after a month's time we have not heard back from you, we will have to close this bug as CANTFIX. Setting status to NEEDINFO, and awaiting information from the reporter. [This is mass-filed message to all open Fedora Core 6 bugs related to Xorg or Gecko. If you see any other reason, why this bug shouldn't be closed, please, comment on it here.] I can reproduce this on F8. When option "Automatically remember running applications when logging out" is on in session properties than decorator and even compiz won't start on subsequent login. Has not happened for me for a long time. Should we close this bug ? I haven't seen this problem since moving to Fedora 9. This message is a reminder that Fedora 8 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 8. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '8'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 8's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 8 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping This bug is back in Fedora 10: on login, no window decorator. The window decorator seems to be running initially when logging in (window borders can be seen), but is then stopped after a second or so. In Fedora 10, started 'gtk-window-decorator --replace' manually no longer works as a workaround: the process starts, but nothing happens. Yep, I can reproduce this on F10. No window decorator appears. I can also reproduce this bug on Fedora 10. I have found a workaround for it, but it is really annoying - toggle desktop effects, and the window decorations will appear (toggling them after this will not get rid of them). Seemed to happen after one of my updates, but I am not sure of the exact update. I have also tried `gtk-window-decorator --replace` which seemed to have no effect. Switching incorrect assignees to the default one. This message is a reminder that Fedora 10 is nearing its end of life.

Fedora 10 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed. i think fedora 12 got this bug too well i been 2 days and nothing good is goin on |
