Gtk3 WM Window borders missing #250

Open ghost opened 9 years ago

ghost commented 9 years ago

Hi,

my titlebars are missing on GtkHeaderbar windows when using Gtk3 with an external WM, are there any fixes known?

I don't use GTK3, but this is a problem with your WM isn't it? Why do you think compton is at fault?

ghost commented 9 years ago

because as you can see in the second screenshot when i disable compton i have a titlebar

WorMzy commented 9 years ago

What WM are you using? Can you check the Xorg log/systemd journal and see if it's crashing when compton is launched? If not, try running it in the foreground in a terminal and see if any messages are displayed when you start/stop compton.

You could try starting compton with 'compton --config /dev/null' to see whether your config is causing the problem.

well i guess it isn't comptons fault since the same happens if I enable composing in xfwm-->probably just another gtk3 bug because there are no issues with qt or gtk2

Sorry for the late reply.

I suppose the issue you saw is related to how GTK+ 3 implements CSD:

http://blogs.gnome.org/mclasen/2014/01/13/client-side-decorations-continued/ https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/GTK%2B#Client-side_decorations

GTK+ 3 disables decorations on windows with _MOTIF_WM_HINTS when it found the screen is composited, in this case.

I'm using i3 window manager and I can confirm this bug.
