Rep Power: 6 | I installed compiz fusion following instruction given in the website. After installing my title bar vanished. I couldn't view the title bar. No close button, minimize button, maximize button. So I removed it. edit: forgot to say I installed it on Ubuntu 7.10  |

Rep Power: 10 | Wow... That did the trick... Thanks... btw, I get this msz in terminal whenever I type ccsm there & hit enter... Sud I care about it? Code: GConf backend: There is an unsupported value at path /apps/compiz/plugins/scale/allscreens/options/initiate_edge. Settings from this path won't be read. Try to remove that value so that operation can continue properly. GConf backend: There is an unsupported value at path /apps/compiz/plugins/scale/allscreens/options/initiate_edge.
