    Title bar disappeared on Xgl after updating some packages

    Hello,

    I had installed Xgl following this instructions and everything was working fine. Yesterday, following a suggestion of a friend to get Mathematica to work, I updated the following packages via YUM:
    Code:
    metacity nautilus gnome-applets gnome-panel gnome-panel-devel gnome-desktop gnome-desktop-devel gnome-utils libgnome libgnomeui
    And now, the windows have no title bar on GNOME. Switching apps with Alt+Tab doesn't work either.
    This problem doesn't happen on KDE, on XFce, or on GNOME without Xgl (tested using gnome-xgl-switch --disable-xgl). BUT it does happen on GNOME under Xgl.

    Any ideas to make it work?

    Thank you for your time,

    -Fibo

    Reinstalling metacity is the likely culprit. Metacity is the default window manager for Xorg, just as compiz is the default for XGL. Try disabling, then re-enabling XGL. This should setup compiz to run at login again.

    Based on the instructions you used to install XGL, these commands should reset your XGL.
    Code:
    gnome-xgl-switch --disable-xgl
    gnome-xgl-switch --enable-xgl --auto

    There is no 'CTRL' button on Chuck Norris's computer. Chuck Norris is always in control.

    Didn't work. I still don't have the title bars.
