[Bug 348432] Re: Jaunty - after upgrade from 8.10, no window decorator at login

[Lark]

Same problem for me after a fresh install of Jaunty (keeping my home directory from Intrepid).
I got no window decoration neither gnome panel on session login. New users or guests were not affected by this problem. .xsession-errors says "Starting gtk-window-decorator"

I tried to remove .gconf/*, .gnome/* and .config/* without any effect.
Then I deleted every non-essential or obselete hidden file/directory in my home (and there were a lot since I'm keeping my home from ubuntu edgy ...). After reboot, the default jaunty theme and layout were back with compiz window decorations !
So I set back my desktop parameters (theme, icons, panel, etc). After logout-login, I lost window decorations again (but no panels).
I tried to remove gnome-compiz, logout-login : no effect but I notice that .xsession-errors now says "no window decorator found"
I installed back compiz without any change.

Notice that as reported above, turning effects on via Preferences >
Appearance > Visual effects starts compiz and sets window decorations.
If compiz is not installed, it starts metacity.

I attached the .xsession-errors I get when I login now.
