Thanks Paul, you were right.
The workaround was not completely installed, and I enabled the Java window fix.
To install the fix, you have to execute a "make install" command *also* in the metadata directory of the source. (That is missing from the instructions, but it should have been obvious, sorry.)

To AntoineM:
After the first failure I tried to install the compiz from the suggested PPA source. It depended on kdebase for some reason, what I did not want to install. At the end I had some packages installed from PPA (libdecoration0 probably), and some from the regular site. Compiz did not start, that was why the windows did not have borders.

Remove the PPA site from /etc/apt/sources.list.d
# apt-get clean
# apt-get update
# apt-get remove --purge compiz compiz-fusion-bcop compiz-fusion-plugins-main compiz-gnome compiz-plugins compizconfig-backend-gconf compizconfig-settings-manager libcompizconfig0 python-compizconfig libdecoration0
# apt-get install compiz compizconfig-settings-manager

You do not need the PPA packages for this patch, the normal packages are perfect.
