Guest bodko Posted November 5, 2006 Report Share Posted November 5, 2006 Darek I have the same problem also, but it doesn't accur every time, mostly when I login the second time it dissapears. Anyone knows whats wrong? This problem also accurs without xgl and 3d desktop, I also tried mandriva powerpack + and this problem didn't accur with powerpack.

Do you have quinnstorms package (now called beryl) or vanilla compiz, because it sounds like you have quinnstorms package without the window-decorator running (the packages are called cgwd (now called emerald) and cgwd-themes, you also need to enable window decorations in compiz settings manager (csm, now called beryl-settings)) Follow the following guide to get the latest stuff working: http://wiki.beryl-project.org/index.php/Install/Mandriva Edited November 5, 2006 by ffi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darek Posted November 5, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2006 Hi, The problem occurs randomly as bodko mentioned, sometimes I can see those frames sometimes I don't ,most of the time it doesn't work. I run KDE power pack. I'll try to follow your suggestions. thanx Darek Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darek Posted November 5, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2006 Hi , just checked, the problem stopped being random, now it occurs evertime I switch to 3D. Checked packages, I got: compiz 0.0.13-0.20060817, gset-compiz-0.3.4-5mdv2007.0, they are installed. I do not have installed: neither compiz-quinnstorm 0.0.13 nor compiz manager 0.13-1mdv2007. So which ones I need to have and which ones I should uninstall. I don't want to make even bigger mess (I have nvidia card). Appeciate your help thanx Darek Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ffi Posted November 5, 2006 Report Share Posted November 5, 2006 It could be a number of things but I believe the easiest and best way to solve the problem is switch to beryl as described in the link above, there are many nice themes for beryl/emerald available Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darek Posted November 6, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2006 Hi thanks to advice, it worked. I removed compiz and other packages were removed with it. Then I installed cgwd and cgwd-themes, of course the dependencies were installed as well. Now the funny thing is that installing cgwd the "windows decorations" was unchecked by default. I just checked it back and it works Thank you D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
