Title bar disappears suddenly when Compiz is enabled

[NewUserFF]

I am running Lubuntu 11.10, today i installed compiz, when i tried to run compiz using the command compiz --replace, the title bar and the taskbar disappeared. after studying it for a while, i found it may have some connection with window decoration( i have picked it in the ccms), when i try to start window decoration in the command line ,i can find some information like: Window manager warning: Failed to load theme "Ambiance": Failed to find a valid file for theme Ambiance, it seems that the theme "Ambiance" isnt compatible with Window Decoration. i tried various themes, but nothing helps. Such information again. Can any one give a hand to me? any help appreciated.;)

Ambiance theme sure is compatible with Compiz, the question here is do you actually have the Ambiance Metacity theme installed (since you are using Lubuntu, which doesn't use Metacity by default)? And also you'll probably have to do something to help Compiz find the theme, as it would normally pick the theme to use from Gnome's configurations...
