gtk-window-decorator: Control buttons not showing in header bar

[Tony Pursell]

Following loss of widow decoration as described in bug 991552 use of the command

gtk-window-decorator --replace&

to replace it now results in a window with no control buttons (see attached example).

This is happening after the most recent update which included some relevant updates in Proposed.

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Adolfo Jayme Barrientos (fitojb)]

For the record: this should not be affecting Unity since 14.04, because it stopped using compiz’s decorator in order to draw its own decorations instead.
