Comment 263 for bug 99508

As previously described, 180.06 did sole this problem for me. It is however a beta so don't take that statement as a recommendation for general use. Stability seems somewhat questionable.

However, after 180.06 solved this particular problem for me, but didn't appear stable I decided to try 177.82 again and either drop compiz altogether or use the emerald decorator ... Big surprise, window frames now works with this version too. Stability still wasn't good though, so I opted for another downgrade - to 177.80 - and now the window borders look fine here too with /usr/bin/compiz-decorator.

I'm confused! Back where I started, running the software version that once didn't work, but now it does. The only possibility that I can think of is if there was something missing from the original 177.80 install that has been included with upgrades and not been removed again during downgrade.
