Thanks o_O?

I'm not sure I understood what you meant by design change. "metacity
--replace" gives me back my buttons but then I lose compiz. So if I
want to use compiz I lose the buttons and if I want button I lose
compiz, now if this isn't a bug I don't know what is.

Oh, you mean compiz controls? I thought you were talking about the upper
left button that disappeared in metacity.

I don’t know anything about compiz, sorry. Please report a bug about it.
Please ask again so that we can add an appropriate Breaks to metacity
when compiz is fixed.

Cheers,

I mean window control buttons. I have compiz on by default and when
it's "compiz --replace" I'm missing window control buttons and this is
how it looks like:
http://foolcontrol.org/img/bug/missing%20window%20controls.png

Now this is that same window when compiz is off and when it's
"metacity --replace"
http://foolcontrol.org/img/bug/missing%20window%20control%20buttons%20-%20metacity.png

Everything is working fine when compiz is off, but once it's on I'm
missing control buttons.

I'll do that as this problem escalated it seems that it could be
compiz bug after all.

Hello,

I have the same problem here.

After the last upgrade for Debian sid I lost the window buttons on
gnome2/compiz. I mean all window buttons (the left one and the tree ones at
right side of the window)

The solution for me was to downgrade the metacity package to the prior version.

# Add wheezy repo to sources.list
apt-get install libmetacity-private0=1:2.30.1-3 metacity=1:2.30.1-3
metacity-common=1:2.30.1-3


So I guess something is wrong with the metacity package because downgrading
it fixes the issue.

Same here. Upgrading metacity makes all buttons disappear, downgrading
it brings them back. I tried to look in ~/.xsession-errors to see if
there's any error message, but there doesn't seem to be any difference
between sid's and wheezy's messages.

I'll try to test it further during the weekend, to see if I can spot
anything more useful.
