Actually, it's worked perfectly in the past. So, what's different now?

Maybe a resurgence of bug#2818 ?

More like bug#5190. There is a bug in the path of the default wrapper for choosing the compositor. I just pushed compiz-0.9.9.0-2 to cauldron with a tentative fix for this bug.

Hermann : to fix the problem, you could launch ccsm and in decor plugin property, put the correct path to the decorator : /usr/bin/compiz-decorator

Or after upgrading, delete $HOME/.config/compiz-1/compizconfig/Default.ini and restart the session.

Julien, that solved the problem. I did both (change the path and delete the old Default.ini) Anyway, it is working now.

Thanks for your support.
