Hey,
I currently try to use a metacity theme and have compiz enabled but apparently that's something compiz doesn't really like.
One think i noticed in fusion-icon is that the entire metacity option under: "Select Window Devorator" is just not there.. (or was that always the case?)
Oke, things i have done so far:
- Search this forum (obviously) nothing found with a solution
- Searched the wiki (same results)
- in gconf-editor /desktop/gnome/session/required_components/windowmanager set to compiz (like said in the Compiz wiki page on archlinux.org
- disabled metacity as compositing manager (tried with enabled as well but the same results)
- right now i have the compiz bash script from ubuntu (tweaked a little) and that starts up compiz just fine but not with metacity
And incase you want the script:

So again what i try to do is running compiz with metacity decorations.
I hope someone can help me here,

Wait, what, I thought metacity isn't as window decorator, it is a window manager, right? I don't really get what you're trying to do... maybe install compiz-decorator-gtk and use it instead of emerald?
edit: aaah, yes, I think you're missing compiz-decorator-gtk, try that, look at fusion icon "window decorator" option again.

Strange.. i was under the impression that pacman -S compiz-fusion would install GTK and QT decorators... guess not.
This issue is fixed now. Running metacity decorations now WITH compiz.
