@Observer, and reporters:
Today, I update to compiz* to 1:0.9.4git20110
I cannot reproduce this problem now. Could you please double-check it?

Compiz on my machine seem to crash. This happened before today. I've retested after full update with the same crashes.

Before upgrading to 11.04 (from 10.10) never had an issue related to 3d.
Basically unity and gnome (ubuntu classic) does not have a window decorator and cant start one.
On ubuntu classic (no effects) works fine.
Also, under kde everything is extremely slow until special effects are switched off (ALT SHIFT F12).

I'm also experiencing the gtk-window-
A quick "compiz --replace" fixes things, but I find myself having to do this frequently -- I'm accustomed to using alt+space a lot!
"apt-cache showpkg" lists my compiz version as 1:0.9.4+
@Mr. Yoshida: I hunted down the .debs of the 1:0.9.4git20110
Do you (or anyone else, for that matter) have any suggestions for possible workarounds, or should I just wait for the bug to be assigned and an official update released?

Dear @Derek:
I can't reproduce this problem. I'm in no-win situation.
(Ah... that is bug squad-er habits, non-reproducible bug is our defeat!)
However, this much can be said: below results from my testing.
- I can't encountered in any updates after comment#7.
- I can't encountered in latest natty too.
- Now, ubuntu-
So, when you using latest natty, but the crash still continued, that indicate
another problem occured...probably.
For clarification, could you please check with ubuntu-
live?

I upgraded today and i sadly see this wasn't fixed in the repos with the correct value for command in window decorator...
as a side note i found natty is more frustration than success...

bug is still active, i set the options as kiilo said, but when you log out and log in the setting is reverted to the wrong one
also i think that works per user session, nor system-wide...

Hello everyone, I've got the same problem when clicking on the window icon or typing ALT- space, here's the pertinent detail:

The solution that worked for me was this setting for "Command" under the "Window Decoration" section of ccsm:
/usr/
Although I'm not using unity at the moment, I just happened to notice, after a reboot, that it no longer crashed and this was the window decorator that was running instead of gtk-window-

Same problem here and it was fixed with the suggested setting:

Thank you for the fix, I can't live without the "Always on top" and "Always on visible workspace" :)

With Natty, alt-space worked for several weeks after installation then stopped, showing the symptoms as described above. Just clicking on the "use default" button on the right of the corresponding field in the compiz configuration manager restored the correct value into the box (/usr/bin/
Also, here is the way I was able to reproduce the unintended modification of the Command value to its buggy state:
1. From Ubuntu Software Center install Compiz Fusion Icon.
2. Start the applet from Applications-
3. Right-click on the blue arrowed box icon that has appeared in the notification area.
4. From Select window manager menu item select Metacity (I also have Openbox listed).
5. Check the Compiz Configuration Manager. The value of the Command field is now "gtk-windows-
6. From the Compiz Fusion Icon select back Compiz.
7. The value of the Command field does not return back to "/usr/bin/
After several tries changing the windows manager stopped changing the Command value, until I restarted the Compiz Fusion Icon applet. After that I was able to reproduce it again.

I'm encountering this as well.
Ubuntu 11.04 - unfortunately I can't use compiz-decorator since it calls the unity-decorator which does a number of annoying things, like thick shadows that look horrible on this graphics card and are slow to boot.

| Derek (bugs-m8y) wrote : | #34 |
Simple workaround I guess is just to disable alt-space :)
Ran into this same problem. I believe Daniel Apostolov (apostolov)'s post (#27) is what happened. The menu button worked fine. I experimented with Compiz Fusion Icon. The menu button stopped working. Resetting the window decorations command fixed the problem

Running 11.10 for few weeks now with no issues. Got this issue randomly and eventually did a dmsg - right after it crashed again and found the error that led me here.
I tried #36 first, then restarted, no go. Then went ahead and followed #30 and pow, right back up! Not even a restart was needed! I haven't restarted yet but hopefully it sticks!

I am running Ubuntu 12 with Unity with a dual monitor setup with nVidia graphics on my laptop. Whenever I start using the mouse scroll wheel on the secondary monitor compiz-decorator goes bang (not all apps cause the problem). As a temporary workaround I now fire up a terminal when it goes bang the first time and run this to keep it going forever:
while true; do compiz-decorator --sync; done;
Nasty hack but at least I can get on with work without having to continually restart it by hand.

I don't know why but if i change the alt+space shortcut to anything else like ctrl+f1 i don't have any issues. But before i was having all the same problems. Can someone else try this?
you can change the setting in "ccsm" then in the "general options" under the "key bindings" icon its call "Window Menu"
Thank you
