Compiz doesn't start and removes window borders.

I am getting a weird message after I execute fusion-icon. As the composition tries to begin, the Gnome enviroment returns with windows having no borders. And the message reads:

 * Using the GTK Interface
** Message: pygobject_register_sinkfunc is deprecated (GtkWindow)
** Message: pygobject_register_sinkfunc is deprecated (GtkInvisible)
** Message: pygobject_register_sinkfunc is deprecated (GtkObject)
 * Decorator "" is invalid.
 * Setting decorator to Emerald ("emerald --replace")

Ati drivers and libgl is installed, Window Decorator, resize, and move is selected but no cigar. Any ideas on why this keeps happening? Xorg conflict maybe? I heard that there is a compatibility problem with the latest Xorg and compiz.

Re: Compiz doesn't start and removes window borders.

Did you carefully follow the wiki when installing?

Also, did you install pygobject?
