Hi all,
I have Opensuse 11.0 running with Compiz under the default settings. All my plugins work fine.
Every time I reboot (or kill the X server), I need to go to simple-ccsm and re-enable the desktop effects on login.
How do I stop this?
Cheers 
This was an issue with the first betaās but should be fixed by now.
Are you running the final version? and which DE (KDE/GNOME) are you using?
Also, have you installed extra items for compiz or left things default?
Cheers,
Wj
I am running the release version of 11.0, with some extra plug-ins. I am using KDE.
To be honest, Iām not even sure whether this effect occurred before I installed the extra plug-ins; it might have.
I havenāt done anything to the system but install the compiz-extra, emerald, etc plug-ins. Perhaps itās worth doing a clean re-install and seeing what happens without any modification?
Itās an old workaround and I will be re-installing using the 11 final next week, so will have more to share then, but try auto loading compiz-manager or the fusion-icon when logging in. That should fire up compiz for your session.
Cheers,
Wj
openSUSE 11.0 64 bit, with KDE 4 and Compiz
Right, I had this problem as well, using KDE4 in conjunction with Compiz fusion. When i first boot in i get the disappearing title bar/focus problem.
I found that the workaround for the problem is this:
1: After booting in, even with emerald set as the window decorator, it does not register. I have to open a terminal and type āemerald --replaceā.
2: I close the terminal window I typed that into and it will go buggy again.
3: I activate the āCompiz Fusion Iconā utility and right click, selecting the KDE4 window decorator, click off, then re select Emerald.
4: usually at this point the last emerald theme i used pops back into existence until i log out or reboot.
Iāve given up at this point and removed all compiz resources, no āBurnā menus for me 
EDIT: Also tried creating a startup script that contains ācompiz --replaceā and āemerald --replaceā in it, but that just gets rid of all window borders completely.
You could open a bug report over at opensuse.org as you have very specific (and valuable) info!
It will help get this issue cleared
Cheers,
Wj
I have found a work-around, to my issue anyway.
I place a script in ~/.kde4/Autostart with chmod +x, containing
#!/bin/bash
sleep 5
compiz-manager --replace &
This seems to fix it, although obviously itās not ideal.
This seems to be a problem with the kde3/4 implementation, it works perfectly on gnome
see my experience

i had the same problem

Actually, I believe I was having this issue in Gnome late yesterday. The fix for me was, as someone above suggested, autoloading the fusion-icon when logging in. That, in turn, caused another problem, which seems well-documented in the Ubuntu formums (ex.: No Desktop Icons showing on GNOME - Ubuntu Forums), where I get a black desktop with no icons, no left-click functionality. The solution to that issue is simply to run killall nautilus from the terminal ā¦ everything pops back to life.
