gnome-window-decorator missing after upgrade

Last night I did a pacman -Syu from a archlinux cd installation, this fixed many many problems, but broke compiz-git, which I like so much.
Now when I run startxgl script, I get no window decoration in gnome, and gnome-window-decorator, the binary, is missing.
This makes me remember when we changed from gwd to cgwd, which, I think sucks.
Is there a way to fix this? I want my window decorations back sad

any help would be very appreciated

It was missing on my system also, so I just switched to cgwd.

Re: gnome-window-decorator missing after upgrade

I personally got mine from aur, then I build it from source. Do you have msn or anything? I can send you the prebuilt package I made. If you want to build it yourself:
http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?d … s=0&SeB=nd
download the tarball, extract it to: /var/abs/local then go to the extracted directory and type makepkg. After that you'll find a file created called cgwd-cvs.pkg.tar.gz. After you have that package type pacman -U cgwd-cvs.pkg.tar.gz and walla. Just replace your script line that has gnome-window-decorator --replace with cgwd --replace.

Re: gnome-window-decorator missing after upgrade

thanks for your reply twistedkaos, but I dont want to use cgwd, I want to use compiz-git

I tried copying my gnome-window-decorator binary from /bin from ubuntu dapper to /bin of archlinux, guess what? it worked perfectly. I just had to put "--replace" to the last gnome-window-decorator call of startxgl (the one that calls gnome-session).

Well, not so perfect so far, gnome hangs at startup loading gnome-wm or something like that (I can see it sessions > running) but if I click on "remove" and "apply", it reloads and everything works well (still no good log out, I have to kill my X)
Now it is not working because I messed up my session gnome config which I dont know how to clean back, but, its there, its not difficult, and its probably not the cleanest way to do it
I will upload the gwd binary somewhere so you guys can use it too

here it is : http://webrepository.unlugar.com/arch/g … -decorator

Re: gnome-window-decorator missing after upgrade

You still are using compiz with cdwg, cdwg is nothing more then a window decorator, like gnome-window-decorator. The only difference is cdwg is skinable.
