Yankee Posted October 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2009 I figured this out right after I said it. But I can't find it in docs or anything. And guess what?

{BBI}Nexus{BBI} Posted October 14, 2009 Report Share Posted October 14, 2009 (edited) Compiz crashes with a kde4-window-decorator fault at login.Have you checked the window manager settings in System Settings--> Default Applications--> Window Manager?
