No title bar when Compiz enabled

[Jade Tiki Puku]

I enabled compiz on a new install of Mint 11 and the title bar is missing. I cannot drag windows and have no wobbly windows. How can I get it back?

I think that at the time I fixed by installing compiz manager, then in the settings there should be a flag to activate the edges of the windows.

In the compiz setting manager you need to activate the Windows Decoration plug. If you want wobbly windows activate it while your there.

If you wish, for a quickie open the compiz setings manager go to preferences

Open gedit, create "whatever you want.profile" by copy and pasting this into gedit:

Save it as something like wyrdoak.profile
Now point your compiz setting manager / pereferences / profile / import to it
It should work now after you restart your windows Manager
In terminal type compiz --replace

I think I remember everything
