Compiz problems on gnome

So im starting compiz with the following script..

#!/bin/bash
fusion-icon &
emerald --replace &
compiz-manager &

it starts and I get the compositing effects, I can open a terminal and get true transparency but i dont get any window borders.

Then in the fusion-icon box in the gnome task manager, I can select either gtk-window-decorator or emerald, but neither load, in the terminal window it just says "setting emerald, emerald --repalce", dosent list an error but the decorator dosent load.

here is a screenshot of what happens..

Re: Compiz problems on gnome

you have to enable windows decoration plugin.


Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.
