This may help a few,........

I have had issues with compufiz. While I was supplied with a trick that helped. Compufiz on my computer just would not behave. I may have traced down the issue. I THINK its compufiz and nivida drivers. Its taken me sometime to figure out how to fix it. Finally stumbled upon this.

Troubleshooting
No window boarders (titlebars)

Insert the window decorator of your choice (gtk-window-decorator, kde-window-decorator or emerald) in
CompizConfig Settings Manager → Window Decoration → Command

Additionally for Nvidia users

Make sure you have a nvidia-glx driver installed and use the following command to configure your xorg.conf:

sudo nvidia-xconfig --add-argb-glx-visuals -d 24

(you have to restart X to make it work)

16 Desktops instead of 4 (although configured correctly)

This can happen on KDE, try starting Compiz like this from now on:

compiz --replace --ignore-desktop-hints


Clicking on a window doesn't bring it to the front

Again, this is a known KDE problem

Go to CompizConfig Settings Manager → Preferences and disable Enable integration into the desktop environment

Found at this web link, http://forlong.blogage.de/article/20...piz-Fusion-074

Reboot your computer after you apply the fixes and see if it helps.

Sure helped my setup. Compufiz is more well behaved.

Great tips, tym. I've had to start emerald separately since I don't know when. I could not for the life of me figure it out. Thank you very much..

Clicking on a window doesn't bring it to the front

On this one, I somehow discovered by accident that if you can click on a bit of the titlebar of the window in back, that will bring it to the front, and I'm kind of in the habit of doing that now. But I think your fix in the Settings Manager is better.
