I have followed guide for installing compiz-fusion with nvidia-drivers. After i run:

Code: 
compiz --replace --sm-disable --ignore-desktop-hints ccp &

my windows are left without title bars and buttons. This issue is mentioned in guide, but there are no hints on how exactly to solve the problem. I run dual-monitor setup with nvidia-drivers (Geforce 8800 GTS). Here is my xorg.conf:

I will provide you with any additioinal information if needed. Thanks.
 
Thank you. That actually worked. It didn't make windows and title bar appear until emerald --replace was run (for anyone having same problem), but now everything seems to work fine. I didn't know those settings were disabled by default in ccsm.

Thanks again.
 
I recently upgraded to compiz-0.8.4_5 (in ports), from compiz-0.8.4_4. I had the title bars working perfectly, via the guide here. I had no need to add "gtk-window-decorator" as in one of the above posts (and note, adding it does not help now, I've tried it). All I did before was as stated in that link, if you search for "trivial script". Now I don't have title bars any more. I'm curious to see if anyone else has had the same issues and if they have resolved them. I run multiple monitors. Getting these errors:
Code: 
Xlib: extension "RANDR" missing on display ":0.0"
Xlib: extension "RANDR" missing on display ":0.1"
emerald: Screen 0 on display ":0.0" already has a decoration manager; try using the --replace option to replace the current decoration manager.

Typing the following does not help.
# emerald --replace
 
compiz does not handle multiple monitors, as separate displays, seamlessly. Try:

[cmd=]DISPLAY=:0.0 emerald --replace &[/cmd]
[cmd=]DISPLAY=:0.1 emerald --replace &[/cmd]

Doh. I should have come back to this after doing something else. Instead I decided to do away with compiz as the only reason I used it in the first place was for equivalent winsplit/grid functionality. A bit crazy to have that teetering tower of complexity just for that function.

I had a bit of a google and eventually found quicktile.py. So now I can have gnome and all the rapid tiling ability of grid, without the reliability of compiz. I think I might make a howto for others. Thank you for your help though. Here is a howto for those in the same situation.
 
I'm having the same problem. I upgraded my ports to the latest with GNOME 2.32, and now neither gtk-window-decorator or emerald will stay running using my existing compiz configuration or a brand new one. When I run either decorator the window decorations appear for about half a second and then vanish as the decorator terminates. I can still alt-click to drag windows around and switch desktops with all the usual compiz effects, so it's definitely running. I'm not left with a core dump or anything to investigate, and I've tried re-building all of compiz.
 
The same problem after upgrade, emerald or gtk-windown-decorator crashes when windows decorations plugin is enabled in compiz manager. The stacktrace of crashed emerald is:
Code: 
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

Looks like the problem with gtk-2.22.1_1 and compiz.
gtk, glib, all compiz and emerald were rebuilt.
Will dig further but need more experienced programmer support.
