My window decorations (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Window_decoration) in GNOME and KDE are both broken. They were broken in GNOME so I installed KDE and they worked initially but then broke. I'm happy to reinstall, but I think compiz is probably going to cause the same problem since it did it in both window managers. I think compiz might change some settings that get left even after compiz is uninstalled (which I did both in GNOME and then in KDE). Things are working slightly more smoothly in KDE, but the decorations still aren't there. You can see what I am talking about with this issue at http://flickr.com/photos/dawhitfield/27 ... 1/sizes/l/ and http://flickr.com/photos/dawhitfield/28 ... 0/sizes/o/. I am getting some weird white space in KDE too (Twitux popups for instance), but it's not nearly as annoying as terminal being blanked out. If anything else would be helpful to post, please let me know. Thanks!
EDIT: I found http://bgoglin.livejournal.com/11253.html and tried it, but it didn't work.
EDIT2: So, I noticed I do have something installed they say not to have installed, but I don't want to uninstall compiz and apt won't let me do that.
