Sorry for resurrecting an old bug. If anyone is still having this issue, I would suggest the following:
1. Verify that the Window Decoration plugin is enabled in CCSM. If this is disabled, then the window titles seem to disappear. (I'm not sure if this is a bug or a feature.) 2. Verify that you have the gtk-window-decorator binary by running `which gtk-window-decorator`. It should output something like "/usr/bin/gtk-window-decorator". It seems like this binary is installed with the compiz-gnome package. While the compiz-gnome package is a dependency of the compiz metapackage, unfortunately compiz is not marked as a dependency of other commonly installed packages like compizconfig-settings-manager. Due to the way the dependencies are set up, if someone initially ran something like `apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager compiz-plugins- extra`, then I think they might get a partially working install (CCSM and various plugins work), but it would be missing the compiz-gnome package. The simple fix would just be to make sure compiz is actually installed: `apt-get install compiz` Is there a reason why the compiz metapackage isn't just a dependency of each of the optional packages? This seems like it could be confusing for users. Even the installation instructions on the wiki seem to suggest installing 5 different packages: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager#Install_CompizConfig_Settings_Manager -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of compiz packagers, which is subscribed to compiz in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/757814 Title: Static Application Switcher Plugin does not show window titles To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ayatana-design/+bug/757814/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~compiz Post to : compiz@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~compiz More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
