compiz doesn't seem to start at startup

[Dhruva Sagar]

Binary package hint: compiz

After I login, the windows do not have borders or title bars, the windows launch in the top left corner of the screen with a fixed size and I can't move, resize, minimize, maximize or close the windows from the window itself, I can however do that from the panel.

The solution which I have found right now is that after every login I go to System -> Preferences -> Appearance -> Visual Effects -> Extra, after which it takes about 10-15 seconds and then the windows get their borders & title bars as they should.

Thanks for the report, it has been some time without any response or feedback in this bug report and we are wondering if this is still an issue for you with the latest release of Ubuntu the Natty Narwhal, May you please test with that version and comment back if you're still having or not the issue? Please have a look at http://www.ubuntu.com/download to know how to install that version.Thanks in advance and sorry for the late response.
