Hello, I tried this post to enable Compiz in Maya Mate 64bit with nVidia drivers enabled:
http://community.linuxmint.com/tutorial/view/919
When I start compiz (compiz --replace from terminal or Startup Apps) then my windows have no borders! But the real problem is that even if I click on the Window Decoration applet within the CCSM control panel, nothing happens. And each time I log into my desk and launch CCSM, no settings are retained from last time I selected them! Its like the CCSM is empty on the back, although I have installed all the compiz-XXXXX packages with the plugins.
Anybody has an idea why is this?
Thanks

I had a lot of problems with this. In the end, it seems that replacing marco with compiz in mateconf editor had nothing to do with it. My settings are as follows:hurinth wrote:Hello, I tried this post to enable Compiz in Maya Mate 64bit with nVidia drivers enabled:

In compiz settings, under window decoration, it says "/usr/bin/gtk-window-decorator"
in mateconf, desktop>mate>session>required_components under windowmanager it says "marco"
And it works when i do compiz --replace.
But you can't change themes like you normally would, you have to go into mateconf editor and change it there. ( apps>marco>general>theme, type the name)

Thank you for replying mate. My CCSM Window Decoration also says /usr/bin/compiz-decorator.
The problem I here is that nothing I check in CCSM will take effect. compiz --replace will only trigger part of the changes, its like the plugins within CCSM are being ignored, therefore I don't have window borders. What could be causing that? Any parameter that I might have to enable? Drivers?
