gtk-window-decorator doesn't show window decor for background windows
I've gotten Compiz install and working fine except where gtk-window-decorator is concerned. It starts ok, but it only draws window decoration for windows in focus. The area where the decoration should be is clickable and brings the window into focus. Occasionally there is corrupt graphics where the background windows decoration should be.
Here is my xorg.conf

Re: gtk-window-decorator doesn't show window decor for background windows
Did you manage to fix the problem?
I'm having the same issue and am completely stumped.

Re: gtk-window-decorator doesn't show window decor for background windows
I don't want to be a bastard and all, and know that it's only been a few hours since I posted commenting that I have the same issue, but does anyone, absolutely anyone have any clue what is happening?
I have also tried running git compiz fusion and the issue is still there.
Also, when running emerald, the windecorations display fine but there are no shadows - at all.
When using gtk-window-decorator, the shadows exist but are of a similar color to my wallpaper and seem to glow and are definitely not shadowy... The decoration of the inactive window is completely transparent, save for the shadow and occasionally, parts of it render seemingly randomly looking garbled.
The issue is quite annoying since gtk-window-decorator is much faster than emerald and offers better integration with GNOME.
I'm using a GeForce 8600GTS with basically the same config files as the OP. I'm running 32-bit Arch.
I'm using the nvidia driver (as in current - I've installed the system today) and by checking nvidia.com, the version I have, 169.12 is the latest stable one.
So pretty please, with sugar on top, how do I get this working properly. This is the first time I've ever encountered the issue and so, could it be related to Arch configuration or to faulty packages?
Please help, anyone. It's quite frustrating and I really want fully-operational compiz.
Thanks everyone.
Sorry for double posting/shamelessly bumping.

Re: gtk-window-decorator doesn't show window decor for background windows
I was using Clearlooks from latest Gnome 2.22. That's ok, right?
Anyway, I think I have done something good... sort of...
I modified gtk-window-decorator's settings with gconf to use Cairo themes. It was not even trying to use the gconf settings and I changed the backend to gconf instead of flat configuration file, and it worked.
It now works and correctly uses the Cairo theme that is completely operational.
On the down side, the shadow is not working properly. It simply isn't the right color. From what I understand, the default in compizconfig is black, but the opacity is small. My opacity was 0 and when I changed it to something else, there was a different value in gconf probably specifying the opacity as well somehow. I'm not quite sure what I'm supposed to do since changing the color to black, #00000000 - or something? - makes the theme opacity in compizconfig settings 0 and there are no shadows. If I configure this through compizconfig on the other hand, I get a weird color that sort of matches my desktop background and leads me to believe that there are some dubious settings involved.
Anyone have a clue? Would uninstalling compiz settings manager work?

Re: gtk-window-decorator doesn't show window decor for background windows
I'm sorry if this has already been mentioned, but I finally managed to fix the problem with the aid of Ubuntu Launchpad - https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+sour … bug/194851
So, basically there is an issue with a library provided by nvidia. This library is:
/usr/lib/xorg/modules/libwfb.soThe actual file is a symlink, which was previously pointing to libnvidia-wfb.so.169.12 (depends on driver version of course, there is another symlink, libnvidia-wfb.so.1). Apparently this causes an error as there is also libwfb.so.1.4 in the same directory. The problem is most likely because of nvidia since changing the symlink to the other library makes everything work fine.
# cd /usr/lib/xorg/modules
# rm libwfb.so
# ln -s libwfb.so.1.4 libwfb.soThen, restart the X server. You can kill it (and close all windows instantly) by pressing CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE.
It should reload and everything should be fine. If there is any problem, recheck the names in you particular folder.
In my case this fixes the shadows as well as the corrupted inactive window decorations.
I'm sorry if this has already been written.
Hope it helps!
