no windowmanager decorations
Last modified: 2007-11-30 17:11:40 EST
Description of problem: I have Fc6T2 with latest mesa/xorg updates, compiz is running and I have spinny desktop cubes, I can see vestigial wibbly windows effects on tooltips and combo boxes, but I have no decorations on any windows, i.e no borders, titlebar, min/max/restore widgets, and windows don't respond to ALT-F7/F8 type keyboard shortcuts Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Version: 0.0.13 Release: 0.16.20060817git.fc6 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. enable desktop effects + wobbly + desktop cube 2. login and open apps Actual results: apps start, but with no apparent windowmanager functions, compiz process is however present, Expected results: window manager functions availabke Additional info: radeon X550 using xorg 7.1 drivver *not* fglrx
Fully updated to latest rawhide, specifically Name : compiz Arch : x86_64 Version: 0.0.13 Release: 0.16.20060817git.fc6 and still not getting borders etc, it seems if I disable then re-enable desktop effects, I do get menu bars on apps, but still no borders, and the menus then disappear on next X restart.
This could be a problem where the earlier versions the compiz rpm would corrupt its gconf settings on upgrade. Try rpm -e compiz, gconftool-2 --recursive-unset /apps/compiz (as your normal user) and then reinstall. Thanks.
Closing due to lack of response, and because it's very like the gconf problem mentioned in comment #2.
