Bug Description

Binary package hint: compiz

See bug #197820 for more details, test cases and analysis. As per instructions in that bug, I am filing a new bug on a specific behavior, since that was about several non-related issues.

I still have the exact same issue that started in Hardy (worked in Gutsy) now in a completely updated Karmic as of today.

My testcase is to install and run crack-attack and observe that the window decorations are invisible (but otherwise working). Note that there is window decorations on the first part of the app that starts, which is a normal Gtk+ menu, but when starting the actual game, the decorations are invisible.

According to information in bug #197820, this is a general problem for GLUT based applications under Compiz.

As I said when I closed the other bug report, GLUT applications all have window decorations for me. I'm wondering if this is a driver issue as you have ati and I have intel and we're both up-to-date on karmic. Is anyone else having this problem on non-ati hardware?

Changed in compiz (Ubuntu):

Judging from when I filed the original report, I would guess that the reporting computer at the time was running Intel, sadly I don't have that computer anymore so I can't test it there - but it would seem likely that it's at least partly a driver issue then.
