Hi. I'm using Compiz in Gnome Fallback mode in Ubuntu 12.04. Strangely, Kmymoney is the only application that I use that doesn't have window decoration. It never has the buttons along the top and the title menu, and sometimes it even goes on top of the gnome bar. I have tested my setup with other qt/KDE applications that I use, including Kbackup which I use every day, and none of them have this same problem. Any idea why this might be happening?

Here are some screenshots:

1) No title bar (constant)



2) No gnome bar (happens haphazardly but very frequently)

Can you start the application from a terminal and post the resulting log?
Perhaps we can infere something from there.

Sure, thanks!

Nothing seems to be odd in the log.
The KXMLGUI::ActionList::plug error should not be there, but it shouldn't interfere with the window decoration, which, btw, is out of KMM's control.
I assume this is a stock package, not built from source, correct?

I am using the package in the Ubuntu 12.04 repo. I figured it might be due to compiz, since AFAIK KDE doesn't use compiz for window decoration, but Kbackup works just fine, as do the other KDE applications that I occasionally use. I do not have the KDE compatibility compiz plugin enabled but when I did enable it I saw no difference.

Can you reproduce this under a new user?

Unfortunately, yes. I created a new user and he showed the same behavior. I also deleted the .kde directory in my user's home and it still showed the same behavior.

So, do you have any other ideas?

KDevelop seems to suffer from similar issues under gnome. I think someone should go complain to the gnome guys.

Oh well, kinda figured. Given the cr*p that the gnome team has been churning out lately, I'm not surprised.
