[SOLVED] Window Manager

[DBFT]

when running compiz (using the command [code:90c3e]LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT=1 compiz --replace --indirect-rendering --sm-disable ccp &[/code:90c3e]) all the effects seem to work, however I lose the window decoration (the title bar with the X and minimize/maximize buttons) so have no way of resizing or dragging windows.

using ubuntu feisty and followed viewtopic.php?f=51&t=758&p=5416&hilit=feisty+fawn#p5416 (http://forums.opencompositing.org/viewtopic.php?f=51&t=758&p=5416&hilit=feisty+fawn#p5416)

Anyone know why?

I also tried the create icon thing and get this error... not sure if its related..

DBFT... that guide you followed...

I did the same thing... but have you done the same

[code:5c8bf]./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr --enable-librsvg --disable-kde && make && sudo make install[/code:5c8bf]
for ~/compiz/emerald and ~/compiz/emerald-themes ?

I hadn't done that, hence why I wasn't getting any decorations... after that type emerald in terminal and you should have decorations.

made a mistake... delete this please

That was it, i hadn't ran emerald :D
