Compiz & window border issue - inconsistent

[timzak]

We've all probably had this issue at one time or another. Window borders disappearing when Compiz is enabled. I'm on 10.04 with Intel GMA 4500M graphics. I would say about 30% of the time when I boot up the computer, I have no window borders. I use the Compiz Fusion icon just for this purpose, to reload the window manager and get back the window borders.

Of course, the other 70% of the time the computer boots up with normal window borders.

Is there a more permanent solution someone can provide than manually reloading the window manager on an as-needed basis?

Not to my knowledge the same thing happens to me. For those who don't have Fusion or don't want it $ compiz --replace works for me. This is the bug report if I am correct https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+s...iz/+bug/583119

Thanks for the link, I searched around and found a bug report that seems a little more relevant:

Lots of different compiz window border bug reports there, with different variations. The one above fit my experience most closely, so I "me too'd" it, rather than make another new report.
