I have been puzzled by your report for a long time. It's strange that
this never worked for you while we always finally fixed similar problems
on other machines. I am starting to think that you have something
strange in your environment that prevents compiz from working. Have you
ever tried with another user account (possibly a just created one with
no customization at all) on the same machine? Or the same account on
another machine where compiz is supposed to work?
I've tested with a new account.
I first tried with xnet then fast-user-switch-applet but it then failed
back on metacity. So i killed all my sessions before logging into the
new account.
I get the exact same output and no decoration.
I copied all my ~/dotfiles to another computer where compiz works, and
it still works.
Sad. I am running out of ideas here...
I assume all your compiz* packages are the latest from unstable? No old
binary manually installed on your hard drive and overriding the
packages? (purging and reinstalling all compiz* packages, and running
'locate compiz' might help checking this).
Also, in case you have a working KDE environment on this machine, you
might to try launching Compiz from there too...
Has anyone ever reported compiz to work on !x86 ?
I am not sure about Debian users, but at least some upstream developers
run Compiz fine it on powerpc.
