compiz - Jun 2007 - gtk-window-decorator takes 100% CPU and doesn't work

Hi,

I tried to run compiz on an intel i810 device (aiglx). According to
the docs, I should:

# LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT=TRUE compiz --replace --loose-binding gconf

GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap is available with direct rendering.
gtk-window-decorator: Could not acquire decoration manager selection
on screen 0 display ":0.0"

And
1. I get no window decorations at all
2. gtk-window-decorator takes 100 % CPU
3. The desktop content doesn't get updated any more -- e.g .xterm w/o
characters and the cpu load applet shows the (frozen) state when
compiz was startet.

OTOH compiz itself works, I can rotate the cube.

This is compiz 0.5 as it comes with debian unstable.
Any ideas?

Make sure you have the correct version of libdecoration0 from unstable 
installed.  That broke my setup.

This is because a gtk-window-decorator process is already running.  Kill it.

Check that you have the newest xserver-xorg-core package installed from 
unstable.  That solved that problem for me.

Sorry for the double mail.
