I am an id10t....I failed to see the note in bold that said if you want
a startup script, install this (which is compiz manager). I installed
this and now i have the windows decorations.
But now, i do not have "window previews". It is checked in CCSM but a
preview does not happen. The funny thing is it was happening when i did
not have the windows decorations.
