My window decoration plugin in compiz was set to gtk-window-decorator. I've played with that setting some, but I've gotten nothing to work thus far. Help is appreciated!

Maybe you could try compiz instead of GTK. Or Emerald, if you have it installed.

I do have emerald installed, but

emerald --replace

doesn't seem to do anything. Doing

compiz --replace

is what makes the window decoration disappear.

Code:

compiz --replace

is what makes the window decoration disappear.

You can fix that by enabling the Window Decoration in CompizConfig Manager.

You didn't read my first post very carefully:

My window decoration plugin in compiz was set to gtk-window-decorator.

Now, it could very well be that I need to change a setting in that plugin. right now it is set to emerald --replace. Thanks for the continued help!
