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...

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".

I have tried "emerald --replace" I have followed the article you posted several times along with tens of arcticles and many google searches. Nothing seems to work...

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

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???

Enable the "Move Window" plugin.

Wow for dumb.... I have spent 2 days looking for solutins trying to configure xorg and everything else and never even looked in the ccsm.. I guess it was so obvious I didn't even think of it... Thanks for you help guys!!!!!

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.
