Hi all!
I want to use cairo mgr + fluxbox but some windows is headless. These windows use some decoration effects like transpatensy.
In the same time if I use cairo mgr + xfce4 I don't have any problems with windows.
So what is wrong with fluxbox? Are there some workaroud that can solve this issue?
thanks,
Sergey

Hi ooo!
It's window without top bar which includes minimize, maximize and close buttons.

If by "some windows" you mean some gtk+/gnome applications, this is probably due to client side decorations on those applications, i.e. they are supposed to be headless and the top bar should provide the functionality of window decorations.
If I'm not mistaken, xfce still (incorrectly) draws window decorations to those windows. According to this rather old bug report fluxbox doesn't manage those windows correctly.

Thank you for the reply.
May be you are right but there is one more thing. If I use cario-compmgr I have this issue all the time but if I use xcompmgr I have this problem only after woke up my PC from suspend mode. If I restart it with xcompmgr it works fine. Moreover i.e. xfce4-terminal doesn't have any special decoration for the top bar it has only transpatensy background.
If I don't use compiz mgrs all windows are fine except some tool bars on the desktop.

okay in that case this is not about csd windows.
you could try if compton works better for you than cairo-compmgr or xcompmgr.
if not, this is probably a bug in fluxbox

Thanks for the reply.
As I understand compton is fork of x-compmgr. So they work identically on my PC under fluxbox It means that I have this issue after woke up my PC with compton from suspend mode.
