firefox window decorations problem with nvidia

[srturner47]

After install 7.10, everything is working pretty well. But, I do have one problem. The windows decorations (close, max/min, and dock buttons) partially disappear in firefox sometimes. When this happens the top bar of firefox is always grey. The close button disappears altogether, and half of the max/min button disappears. Mousing over these buttons fixes the problem, but it is still a little annoying to have to do this all the time.

Any ideas on what might be causing this? I am running with an nvidia 6200 card. I have desktop effects on custom --- I added cube and a couple other little things.

Thanks!

I have a Geforce 5200 fx, and am having the same problem occasionally. I also have a problem with no windows decorations ever in the second screen. If I find a solution I will tell you, maybe that will help you.

I fixed the problem with.

sudo nvidia-xconfig --add-argb-glx-visuals -d 24

Then kill x

Still no decorations on the second monitor, but the first one is working well.

Great! But, before I try that, does anyone know how to undo this if I have problems? Nvidia says to enable this at your own risk, so I'd like to know I can get it back to normal if it messes something up.

BTW, I don't have a second monitor, so I haven't had the other issue.

Thanks!

sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.good

If something goes wrong fix by :

sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf.good /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Hmmm.. Didn't seem to fix it. Same problem. :(

It looks like a bug is your problem. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=581865

After redoing X tring to fix my dual screen the problem came back on the screen the window decorations actually worked. Compiz-Fusion is a regression so I have turned it off until they fix it. Changing window decorations may help.
