gtk-window-decorator hangs after login, window decorations missing

[Nikolaus Rath]

Binary package hint: compiz

In 90% of all cases, my windows do not have decorations after login. I need to explicitly call "gtk-window-decorator --replace" to get decorations. There is an existing instance of this process, but it doesn't seem to do anything.

Thanks for the report, could you get a backtrace of that hang? please read: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingCompiz ; And before doing that, may you please test with Natty to see if the issue is reproducible with it? Thanks in advance.
