Which versions exactly? The 0.9 versions, or where some 0.8.14 or 0.8.16
version of compiz-reloaded work?

I am not exactly sure. I have just looked at
http://snapshot.debian.org/package/compiz/ and I am a bit confused by 
the chronology. I have only ever installed from the repository and 
updated when prompted. I could install an older version from a snapshot.


A working version was fairly recent, the last few months.

With the latest version in
Sid, 2:0.8.16.1-3, Compiz does not work for me at all. In that the desktop
is not drawn properly, with blocks of colour and strange artifacts all over.

Mmm :/

Just to rule factors out, what is your software desktop?  Just MATE with
the BlackMATE theme?

Samuel

Yes. Unmodified Sid, with MATE and BlackMATE theme. Previous versions of 
Compiz from the repository would work for me somewhat, not perfectly, 
but now not at all.


I am very interested in getting Compiz working, so let me know if there 
is anything else useful I can tell you.


I am currently using Marco, the MATE window manager, with Compton for 
compositing, and all is smooth and stable.

Hello

I solved that problem by putting gtk-window-decorator --metacity-theme 
BlackMATE as decorator command. Latterly it worked with compiz-decorator 
--replace. But now I have a much bigger problem. With the latest version 
in Sid, 2:0.8.16.1-3, Compiz does not work for me at all. In that the 
desktop is not drawn properly, with blocks of colour and strange 
artifacts all over.
