Using gtk-window-decorator without a DE

[tr1gun]

Hello,

is it possible to use compiz & gtk-window-decorator without a desktop environment like Gnome/Kde?
I tried it and it seems to work the only problem is that you can't logout. Is there some signal that must be send to gtk-window-decorator or does it lack that function?
Thanks in advance.

Hi, tr1gun.

Yes, it is possible to use compiz/gwd without a DE but you will still need some parts of common DEs ...

The logout functionality is part of the DE, not part of compiz/gwd. I assume you will have to run a session-manager (like gnome-session) to enable the logout-functionality. I think you can send a dbus-signal to gnome-session which then shows the logout-dialog.

Alternatively you could run a terminal as first application in your xsession - when you close the terminal you logout ... but it's not very clever because it kills all your apps when the terminal crashes.
