no border to windows

[frriction]

when I boot to ubuntu I can not see border to windows.

to get it I have to execute the command

compiz --replace &


then border comes back in terminal there is message

Starting gtk-window-decorator
compiz (cube) - Warn: Failed to load slide: /usr/share/gdm/themes/Human/ubuntu.png


Is there any work around to not type compiz --replace & command every time I boot my machine.

You could try fusion-icon loaded at startup in startup preferences.

On karmic I used to use
fusion-icon -nas the startup command.
The -n flag tells it not to load a window manager because it should boot into the window manager you were last using anyway.

Using just fusion-icon as the startup command might solve your problem.
Even if it doesn't, you will have a right click menu in the notification area to reload the window manager.



Also look at your window decorations plugin in CCSM and check the command box says..
gtk-window-decorator --replace

It seems that the compiz cube is broken cause it can't find the above mentioned picture.
Choose a picture of your liking, save it as ubuntu.png with gimp and put it in the proposed folder.

Yes, as TeoBigusGeekus said you are missing that file which I think is a bug in Lucid because I don't think it's included in the Lucid install.
It just refers to a png for cube caps.
CCSM > DESKTOP > DESKTOP CUBE > APPEARANCE
You can just change the link to your own picture.

Also try System > Preferences > CompizConfig Settings Manager and find the "Window Decorations" plugin. Check the box and you're all set.
