Compiz works but window decorator not. [No window borders]

[gadLinux]

I have a problem with the window decorator. No matter if I use gtk-window-decorator or emerald. The window does not show.

This is the error:


gad@azul1 ~ $ gtk-window-decorator
gtk-window-decorator:27056): Gdk-WARNING **: Using Cairo rendering requires the drawable argument to
have a specified colormap. All windows have a colormap,
however, pixmaps only have colormap by default if they
were created with a non-NULL window argument. Otherwise
a colormap must be set on them with gdk_drawable_set_colormap

Can you help me please?

I'm using Twinview and compiz-fusion works but not the window decorators...

[aglonger]

Try this:
1. Run ccsm
2. Enable window-decoration-plugin and enter settings of window-decoration-plugin
3. In 'Command' area type: emerald

Restart Compiz.
For me it works.

[gadLinux]

It still does not work.

The window decorator plugin is on. Everything seems to be in place but still not window borders. Emerald runs without problems but shows not window borders.

Also everytime I change the theme it gives as follows:



gad@azul1 ~ $ emerald --replace

(emerald:17709): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_ref: assertion `G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed
Reloading...

(emerald:17709): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_ref: assertion `G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed
Reloading...

(emerald:17709): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_ref: assertion `G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed




I changed the theme 2 times, the first message comes from the initial loading.

I don't know what else should I do.

I tracked down the problem and seems to be always the same.

[gadLinux]

The error of gtk-window-decorator from gdb is:

I don't know if this helps...

[adamk]

Sounds like an incompatability between the decorators, cairo, and/or glib. I suggest making sure they are all up-to-date and possibly re-emerging them.

[gadLinux]

It's up to date. Cairo and Glib are latest versions.

But the message:


gtk-window-decorator:27056): Gdk-WARNING **: Using Cairo rendering requires the drawable argument to

however, pixmaps only have colormap by default if they
were created with a non-NULL window argument. Otherwise
a colormap must be set on them with gdk_drawable_set_colormap



Makes me thing that the window does not have colormap so maybe it's a programing error.

I don't know.

I notice you are running a 6600 graphics card. I have this card and wasn't seeing window borders when trying to run either emerald or compiz window decorators under the direct driver support, or AIGLX. I found no problems however when i switch to using the Xgl layer.

also make sure you are running the G01 flavour of the driver as I had no joy with the other one

[shogun1234]

So how to switch to using Xgl layer? or how to solve this error?

I had already enable the window decorator in the compiz setting (gtk-window-decorator --replace) and the icon of compiz appears on the systray, except that when switching to the compiz it echoes errors as follow:

fusion-icon

[guidored]

OK ... i have the same kind of problem, but perhaps for diferent reasons ...

no decoration windows on emerald ... and when use $ emerald --replace ... i have

(emerald:15528): Wnck-WARNING **: Unhandled action type (nil)

Any suggestions???? ...
