Created attachment 262971 [details] Crash report Not sure if this is related, but I just had an intermittent gtk-window-decorator crash. Bug buddy captured some data which I am attaching along with this report. Let me know if I need to open another bug for this particular report.
Could you try to install the compiz-debuginfo package and see if you can reproduce the crash when running gtk-window-decorator under gdb? Start as $ gdb gtk-window-decorator and at the gdb prompt type (gdb) r --args when it crashes, type (gdb) bt full to get the full back trace and attach that. Thanks.

I'm having a similar problem, except the problem occures even if I try it as root. What it comes down to is the desktop-effects command shows some kind of error. Error log attached.

I was going to try this on my system, but I can't seem to find compiz-debuginfo package using the package manager gui.

Just to give you slightly more detailed information on how to do it (sorry, it is mostly non-GUI oriented, because it is much more simple to describe things in gnome-terminal/konsole/xterm than with describing the buttons in GUI interface). The most simple thing to do is to install yum-utils package and then run this command as root (run su - to become root): debuginfo-install compiz Then run compiz inside of gdb as described above: gdb gtk-window-decorator [ snip information lines in gdb] (gdb) run <whatever arguments you would put after gtk-window-decorator on the command line if run outside of gdb> [wait until gtk-window-decorator crashes] (gdb) thread apply all backtrace This produces usually many screens of the text. Copy all of them into a text editor and attach the file to the bug as an uncompressed attachment. We will review this issue again once you've had a chance to attach this information. Thanks in advance.
