Dear Forum members,

I am a formely ubuntu user, but now I switched to Arch linux. Everything's fine but only my compiz is not working. When I start compiz fusion icon my titlebars disapear. I tried everything. Add addargbvisuals to my xorg config. Tried every theme. I hava a nvida videcard with the right drivers.

Oh, and i'm using gnome

Thank you!

Did you go into the compiz settings and check the Windo Decorations setting?

pientertje · 2009-04-01 13:26:15

yes, it's on

If you had compositing enabled in metacity, disable it.

I haven't turned it on, but I checked it and it's off.

I have this same problem on freshly installed Arch64 with Gnome.
Whenever I choose Compiz as Windows Decorator all my tittle bars disapear.

Xlib:  extension "Generic Event Extension" missing on display ":0.0".

I've just install compiz-fusion today and also encounter the same situation.

Thanks to mrunion suggestion, it works after I enable Window Decoration in compizconfig settings manager.
In fact, all settings in the compiz settings are disabled by default, I still have to enable "Move Window" in order to move after getting the title bars.

Thank you.

I have got the same probrem. Compiz-fusion title bars disapear in Gnome, but working well in kde 4.2

My problem is solved after updating my Xserver to the newest version everything works fine.

I have to Reload Window Manager twice to get compiz working correctly in Gnome

i cant use wobbly windows, most of the plugins in compiz doesn't even work for me hows that? I'm on ati radeon 3700/arch64, conclusion it's a total mess and yeah no borders unless I set it with emerald but then all windows are frozen, can't move em.

i really don't want to go back to i686, but man ever since I installed 64bit i've had more issues than fun

I reinstalled from backup, updated, and everything went fine, the issue resolved itself for me...
