Hi,
I've got a problem with compiz and rxvt-unicode (a.k.a. urxvt) windows. They are completely screwed up: the title bar does not contain any of the usual buttons to minimize, maximze, shade or close the application. Also, when holding the mouse button down on the title bar, it is not possible to move the window; I have to use the ALT + button1 combination to move the window (also, I have to use that combination WITHIN the window; it does not work either when I use that combination and click on the titlebar, which usually is possible too; hence the problem is really the titlebar). Other operations like resizing etc. can also only be achieved with key combinations.
This has already been reported once in the compiz mailing list, but David Reveman said it worked fine for him and it was thus no further investigated:
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/compiz/2007-March/001596.html
I have the very latest version of compiz and the gtk-window-decorator (actually, I'm using the git version). So, the bug's definitely still there.
I also noticed that this bug only occurs when using the "tabbed" extension of urxvt (so it has multi-tab support), which was not mentioned in that original mail. I assume David hence didn't try to launch an urxvt with that extension and so maybe that's why it worked for him and he couldn't confirm the bug.
I made a screenshot to show this:

It should be noted this is not urxvt's fault; with other window managers like xfwm4, the titlebars of tabbed urxvt instances are just fine. Also, this occurs whether I use gtk-window-decorator OR emerald with compiz. Hence, it's either not a bug of the window decorator, or both of these window decorators have the same bug ;)
Is this a known problem? I googled for it, searched for it in the forums, searched the bug tracker, but the only thing I found was that short discussion in the compiz mailing list several months ago.
I originally wanted to post this as a bug report to the bug tracker, but then I read in the Wiki that the developers prefer if such an issue is discussed in the forums first, so, here I am. Can anybody confirm this? Could anybody try to start a urxvt -pe tabbed instance (using compiz, obviously) and see if this occurs?
Thanks a lot!
