All is well again. Simply running
# gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders --update-cache
Solved all problems!

Nice! This would be a packaging error in the Arch packages. Each package that installs GDK pixbuf modules should automatically run that command.

Good news, gnome 3.6 has been moved from gnome-unstable to testing:) I think we will see it soon in extra.

That's great news!

You're partly wrong. It is related to gtk-window-decorator which is not build using libwnck3, but libwnck. A simple pacman -S libwnck fixes this bug. A visual proof ?

If you encounter any strange behavior, please check ~/.xsession-errors
Currently I have only couple of issues with Unity...
1. Instead of time I have text "Time" on clock applet
2. Cursors are crappy (in FF they are OK) (I think this is not due to unity, but I can be wrong)
3. missing cpufreq, multiload, pastie applets (maybe they exist, but I can't find them)

1. /etc/timezone is needed until GNOME 3.6 is released and systemd is required
2. EDIT: nevermind
3. multiload no longer works with the latest Unity. I'll package the other two when I have time

EDIT: indicator-sync is packaged
EDIT2: I can't find a 'pastie' indicator.

Hi.
I updated my archlinux installation (-Syu) and all the packages in the git repo, and now I got no decoration.
/usr/bin/compiz (decor) - Warn: No default decoration found, placement will not be correct
I read the last replies and tried the solutions like reinstalling libwnck, changing the window theme using gnome-tweak-tool but nothing seems to work.
Am I missing anything?
EDIT: I just noticed that there's a running process of gtk-window-decorator that keeps using 100% of my cpu.

What theme are you using? If you're using Adwaita, try using another theme. I used to run into the issue, but not anymore. I'm not sure why it happens.

I tried lots of window themes like Adwaita, ReNIX, Holo, Ambiance, Evolve, Metabox... I change the theme using gnome-tweak-tool and then restart unity, but the result is always the same.
Could you indicate the working theme you're using?

I'm currently using Ambiance. Could you try killing gtk-window-decorator

killall gtk-window-decorator

change the theme and then start it again?

Thanks for the tip! I killed gtk-window-decorator, changed the theme and restarted unity, like you said. Now I have the window decoration, but it is not working yet.

There are still 4 issues:
1. I have the decoration but the new windows doesn't have the control buttons (maximize, minimize, close)
2. The chose theme is not applied.
3. gtk-window-decorator still uses 100% of the cpu
4. Can't drag or resize the windows

Hmm...I've never seen that before. I'd try resetting the Compiz settings. You can back up the settings first by running:

dconf dump /org/compiz/ > compiz_settings.txt

and reset them with:

dconf reset -f /org/compiz/

(and of course, log out and log back in). If the window decorations work after resetting, please post the compiz_settings.txt file

The 'no' and 'disabled' statuses are fine. Ubuntu disabled those plugins as they don't work with the latest version of Compiz.

I'm really not sure why gtk-window-decorator is not working properly

EDIT: What version of metacity are you using?

I have just created a GNOME3.6 branch in the Unity-for-Arch git repo. I will update to the 'testing' repos and start making things work with GNOME 3.6

Note: Please do NOT use this branch unless you know how to fix a badly broken system

Just to make a note, I managed to solve the problem. I downgraded all the unity packages and upgraded only the essential ones (unity, compiz-ubuntu, libunity, ...) and now it works. So I still don't know what exactly was the package that was causing the trouble. As soon as I found out I can post here if it helps you.

I also have another question. I used to edit the window button order in metacity using gconf (/apps/metacity/general/button_layout), but it seems the configuration source has changed. Is that right? If so, where can I do that now?

It's now under org.gnome.desktop.wm.preferences in dconf (dconf-editor).

By the way, I have finished updating the packages to the GNOME 3.6 versions. I don't know if the 100% cpu bug is fixed, but I know for sure that the ugly window decoration bug is

You're welcome

All of the packages are now updated in the branch. It's ready for testing light-themes must be removed or GTK (I think it's GTK) will crash. This is probably because Arch hasn't recompiled some of light-themes's dependencies.

Other than that, Unity with GNOME 3.6 runs very smoothly

EDIT: indicator-datetime now reads the timezone from systemd's timedated. No more /etc/timezone With my patch, the new time takes effect as soon as the timezone is changed in GNOME Control Center.

Since it's not maintained by chenxiaolong, I don't think he has any answer to this. You can try unity.humbug.in instead.

It compiles with ibus from testing.

I'm not sure when the next build is going to be because I don't maintain the repo. Maybe pekmop1024 can chime in on this?

Thanks! I'll find out what Ubuntu is doing to work around this.

EDIT: Of course...I forgot that they're using version 3.4.2. I'll need to port Ubuntu's ibus patches to version 1.4.99.

EDIT2: I removed ibus-ubuntu for now. The interface was rewritten in vala and I don't know enough about programming in vala to port the patches over
