I am NOT better at this subject! I have borked plenty of GRUB files, and have repaired them by hand using the link I provide in the Quicklinks section of General Discussion.

I loose the title (drag) bar of all windows when I switch to compiz window manager. Upon switching back to metacity widow manager they are restored. I could live with this but... cairo dock gets a black rectangle around entire dock while metacity is managing, and not under compiz. Any help is appreciated. And yes I am a very newbie!

Have you done anything with Compiz Settings manager??There are alot of options for .."WINDOW Management" which is the last sections of controls on the settings manager...one is window placement...which when set to..."centered" places your window down in the center of the screen...another plugin in is "MOVE" which allows you to press ...ALT.. Plus left click on mouse and drag window from any point in the window...

No, my installing SELinux did not _fix_ the problem, just exacerbated (made it worse) the problem! Now I cannot boot into Ultimate Edition....it reported "cannot find init' about a thousand gillion times before I did a 3 finger salute to that display (I waited a bit to be sure that that was all it was going to do).

Now my question is: (re)install or update from the Live CD? Probably install (clean) is what I'll choose.

I have Windows XP, Windows Vista, Mandriva 2008 AND Ultimate Edition 1.8 installed on a 300 Gb hdd (the 2 linux are on logical partitions, as is Windows Vista). I can no longer access Windows Vista partition, as I guess the new Grub install messed something up(?) and I'll have to _try_ to fix this, somehow......

Thanks...I'll keep ya'll posted,

To fix the Vista boot-loader, you need a normal Vista disk, pop it in, and boot it up, it has the option to restore the Vista boot-loader (I had to do this on my laptop, when I destroyed my vista boot-loader), and no, I don't mean the Restore disks that vista lets you make, you HAVE to use a retail disk/a copy of a retail disk in order to run the boot-loader repair option....lol, because Mr. Softie is a pain in the neck >_>, and if you do not Have a retail vista disk, then to fix that problem easily, you either have to buy one, or download one (though, mind you, downloading one is technically illegal >_<).

Don't sweat it cowboy - I know your good intentions Just didn't want to be portrayed as a GRUB expert ... lol .... I'm definitely not one of those!!! I helped Cab out on his, bot only half. Got all Ultimate Edition's working again with no problems, but the whole chainloader thing is something I haven't conquered yet ... nor do I want to

I found my problem. I had to ENABLE WINDOW DECORATION in compiz-icon settings manager. Hope this helps someone out!

Now I have to figure out why my horizontal virtual size cannot be set to four, but three and five are acceptable. And again, any help is appreciated.

I've had this once or twice as well. I couldn't pin down what fixed it I've switch desktop decorators and back, rebooted, and reinstalled compiz. Not all these at once but each one has fixed it at different times try one or all 3. oh and export you comiz settings if you reinstall it then you'll be all set when you reimport it.

Have you tried the advanced search here? Seems like there was a post on this sometime back, I'd look for you, but don't have the time now.
