Missing window edges and title bar after compiz-fusion install

Hi! I just recently installed compiz-fusion on kdemod. Run fusion-icon and then the screen refreshed. After refresh the edges of the windows were missing so that i cannot move or resize them.

Can someone pls direct me to the files that i must study and configure?
Thanks.

Have you decoration plugin enabled?
Have you installed a window-manager like emerald or compiz-decorator-kde?

You can check it with ccsm.

you may also have to run emerald as well to launch it.  I have a standalone compiz-fusion and I have to run emerald after fusion-icon to get the window decorations.

or you can have the same kde window manager, all that you have to do is to start this command in a prompt:
kde-window-decorator
That would load the original window decorator of KDE.
