Bug Description

Binary package hint: compiz

Just like the title says.

I have an up-to-date i686 gutsy install on a Dell XPS M1710 laptop with an NVIDIA GeForce Go 7900 GS and a second monitor (a SONY KDL46XBR4 LCD TV). If I enable Compiz and configure NVIDIA to enable the second display using the Separate X Server option in nvidia-settings, then there are no title bars or borders on any of the windows on the second display. If compiz is not enabled, then there are. If NVIDIA is set to use TwinView, then there are. Only the separate X server set-up with compiz triggers the problem.

This behaviour occurs in exactly the same situations as another bug that I have filed separately as #172503.

This is fixed in hardy. The problem is you don't have a gtk-window-decorator running on the second screen.

Is the fix in the hardy repository? I have added all the hardy repositories to my sources.list and upgraded all the compiz packages, but the bug is still present.
