Ahh.

FWIW, I think I always patched compiz to ensure it started the decorator
for you...

So a question is: Is compiz running but without decorations?

If yes, then is the decoration plugin loaded in compiz itself?

If yes, then I'd suggest that either:
 1. Compiz is no longer staring the decorator for some reason.
or
 2. The script &quot;compiz-window-decorator&quot; is not working.


That's probably the first place to start.
