Re: gtk-window-decorator error after latest updrade

Install "metacity2" from AUR.  "metacity" in the main repos recently made a big version jump to 3 from 2.  3 is not compatible with gtk-window-decorator, you must use 2.  2 will replace 3 when you install it.

Edit: And when it works go to the AUR page for the compiz flavor you're using (there's a few of them) and report they need to replace "metacity" with "metacity2" in their depends for the PKGBUILD.

Thanks alot!

It works for me (I have the compiz-xfce installed.)  It's a pitty that compiz-xfce in AUR is now a orphan. A substition could be https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/compiz-manjaro/

Right on, you're welcome.    I use Xfce and compiz-manjaro too!
