gtk-window-decorator crashes in _wnck_window_destroy() from wnck_screen_finalize() from g_object_unref() from gwd_settings_notified_impl_dispose() from g_object_unref() from gwd_settings_finalize()

[amjjawad ]

This is ASUS F3F, Intel Core Due T2350 @1.86GHz, 2MB Cache, 512MB RAM and Intel 945GM Graphics Card.
I'm using Lubuntu 12.10 and I have installed Compiz, replaced Openbox with Compiz already (see: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2061368 - for more details) and also installed Cairo Dock.

Problem is:
1- Compiz Crashes
2- Keyboard does not type
3- No border for any window
4- Cairo Dock shows a black box behind it: http://i50.tinypic.com/2zf019j.jpg - which will show the no border issue and the black box.

In order for me to fix this temporary:

1- Right Click on Fusion Icon
2- Reload Window Manager

Since I have installed Compiz until now, I'm facing this issue except for 2 days after I did an update and upgrade:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade -y
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

It started to work fine but today, it back to the same thing.

Is there any real fix for this?

Thanks!

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

Hopes to see this fixed soon as RR will be released in a few weeks .

From the previous tag, it seems that this bug is still alive and happening with Saucy as well.

[Christopher (soft-kristal)]

I was having an issue with this and found a solution. I installed CCSM (CompizConfig Settings Manager) and under the general/composite settings I unchecked Undecorate Fullscreen Windows and haven't had a problem since then.

I've tried it in Saucy versions of Lubuntu, Ubuntu and Ubuntu Trusty.

This 0.9.12.2 is released, but still not built
Waiting to get it into wily archive, to be able to upgrade.

0.9.12.2 is now working fine on Wily; so it might be time to close that report
