Xgl no window title bar

[Adamal]

Before todays update I had XGL working without any problems. However when I did the last update which updated compiz, the title bars on all my windows are gone. I am using thefuture script described in this thread http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=131267

Any solutions?

If you run "gnome-window-decorator" in a terminal, does it spit out error messages?

command not found.

command not found.
it looks like I'm missing some plugins

compiz.real: Couldn't load plugin 'libgconf.so'
compiz.real: Couldn't load plugin 'libmenu.so'

Anyone know where I can find those plugins?

[Adamal]

Ok I got it working. It looks like they added a compiz-gnome package. Installing that took care of it.

Could we continue this threads for the ones that have compiz-gnome, but still have no titlebar?

I have gnome-window-decorator from the compiz-gnome package.
When I run it, there are no error messages displayed in console, but it still fails to draw any border.

Any ideas on it? ... please :(

Did you enabled the decoration plugin when you start compiz?
Remember, if you use gconf then is uses the plugins listed in gconf-editor and ignores everything after that.

Ok, I must be the dummest thing that ever happened to dapper :)

Thanks mate. Very helpfull.
It works like a charm.

decoration and menu keep disappearing from my gconf-editor-->compiz-->plugins list.

Any ideas?

The plugins have to be loaded in a particular order.

Start compix in a terminal (compiz --replace gconf), then open up gconf-editor and do the plugin editing. Compiz will spit out any errors about plugin dependency order on the terminal.

[eeclark]

and this has to be done each and every time?

i did the howto thing...and put the plugins in the correct order in gconf-editor.
I also have in my session at startup "compiz -replace gconf" already.

That should be working.

That hapened to me... I just followed the tutorial again... and it fixed it. I believe one of my files was changed while updating.

I'm getting crazy about this...


when I run compiz --replace gconf I get: compiz.real: No composite extension



and when I load gnome-window-decorator I get:

gnome-window-decorator, Failed to load shadow images



Any Idea foks? The lack of window title is very annoing.

Hope someone has a solution.


See ya.
