No Title Bar with Compiz

So the subject says it all when I enable compiz with emerald I lose my title bars.  However compiz it self works fine, I get desktop cube and what not.  I have a gtx275 with the lastest Nvidia drivers.  I have read and tried nearly everything in my xorg file and nothing seems to work..   Any help would be greatly appreciated.  I have a fresh install of only xorg, nvidia driver, and everything compiz.  Below is my current xorog file...

Re: No Title Bar with Compiz

By title bars, I guess you mean window decorations? Which in turn means Emerald is not running. This is a very common issue and there are hundrets of threads about this on the net. It has nothing whatsoever to do with xorg. Try running

emerald --replace

from a command line just to see if it's an easy case of emerald simply not starting. Alos make sure you follow the wiki closely on setting up compiz. Pick one of these methods:

Else, just try googling for "compiz no decorations emerald".

Re: No Title Bar with Compiz

Re: No Title Bar with Compiz

this could be a stupid question but do you have window decorations enabled in compiz config settings manager

Re: No Title Bar with Compiz

Ok so in the ccsm I enabled the window decoration ( go figure )  and the bar now comes up... However I can not use it.  The close min max buttons work but I am unable to move the window around...  Any thoughts???

Re: No Title Bar with Compiz

Enable the "Move Window" plugin.

Re: No Title Bar with Compiz

I share your opinion. The defaults should be with Move Window and the decorations enabled. But they aren't for some strange reason.

We're gonna see what they'll do with Compiz 0.9.
