As soon as I switch to compiz as window manager, most of the 3d features seem to work. However, no window has its maximize, minimize and close button any more.
They appear if I click approx. where they should be, but they are not drawn from the beginning.
I have an nVidia 6600 GT, use the latest nVidia Driver 173.14.09, an ASUS A8N-E board. I already tried the
sudo nvidia-xconfig --add-argb-glx-visuals --composite
to update my xorg.conf file.
This looks like:
Section “Screen”
Identifier “Screen[0]”
Device “Device[0]”
Monitor “Monitor[0]”
DefaultDepth 24
Option “AddARGBGLXVisuals” “True”
…
It does not seem to help. As soon as I pick Compiz, the max, min and close buttons are gone.
Does anybody know what I am doing wrong? Any help appreciated. Thanks.
I encountered the same problem, but only with firefox! To make the case even more mysterious, it comes and goes in a random fashion. (Right now everything is ok, for instance.) Somebody found a hack that restarts the window decorations by hand over the terminal. (Try google.)
Thanks for the idea.
I accidentally tried
kde-window-decorator --replace
which gave me back max, min and close buttons, but with kde3 look (which looks somehow odd in kde4 environment)
after trying
kde4-window-decorator --replace
I got back the kde4 title line again, however, still without max, min and close buttons. If I click on them where they should be they appear and stay there then. Very annoying behaviour.
Is there any other setting I could try.
Thanks for the help.
compiz --replace ccp
Thanks.
Well, none of that works.
I have tried compiz --replace ccp
which gives me new window title bars, however, again without the “open”, “close” and “max” buttons.
I have also searched the nVidia hints with editing xorg.conf under Compiz.org :: NVidia - Compiz but that does not help either.
Everything works fine, the effects are all there, but the three buttons just don’t want to work.
I think I give up and go back using the standard kdewin manager again. Has less effects but the windows can at least get closed.
Thanks anyway. 
Ha, success.
I got it to work.
Solution was to go to
Compiz Fusion - openSUSE
and click the one-click-install to install compiz again. The standard installation that came with with the DVD obviously had some problems. Yast did install for a while and since then everything works. Thanks again for the help. 
This solved it. Thank you very much.
[Edit]
It only works when Konsole is open and running kde4-window-decorator --replace. If you close it, they dissapear again.
¿Any permanent solution?
Update:
I typed the code I had typed in Konsole on the Compiz’ Windows Decorator plug-in command and it now works.
