Try a: [code:ff1bb]sudo apt-get dist-upgrade[/code:ff1bb] It seems that sometimes the libdecoration0 package isn't upgraded from 0.3.6 to 0.5.x, and that may be the cause of that issue.

Thank you.

I think the way to fix all of that is:

1. Go to System - Administration - Synaptic Package Manager
2. Click on Search
3. Do a search for compiz and beryl
4. Removed all the related compiz and beryl package
5. Go to Place - Home Folder
6. Hold or push ctrl+h to show all hidden file in Home Folder
7. Delete .beryl, compiz or compizconfig folder
8. Reinstall compiz fusion from the install instruction
9. Hold or push alt+f2 and type in compiz --replace
10. Click OK

After all that, everything should be able to work.
