same problem . no window decorations, but compiz works perfectly.
rebooting or changing default depth didnt help.

So I know a bit of C# , php and a bit of C. what I really want to do is modify some linux programs to suit my needs. basically how does one 'read' or understand a program ? Lets take jwm for example, lets say I want to add the ability to close applications by middle clicking on them in the taskbar: ...

they have added vista/7 support in the latest version.
