Hi, 

I've tried adding that line alone to no avail,

sudo nvidia-xconfig --add-argb-glx-visuals also doesn't work,

adding the following lines..
Option "AddARGBGLXVisuals" "True"
Option "RenderAccel" "True"
Option "AllowGLXWithComposite" "True"
Option "backingstore" "True"
Option "TripleBuffer" "Tru

via

also didn't work.

Each time, I tested by enabling compiz via the System menu, then
restarting X by pressing Ctrl-Alt-Backspace. All the times I tested the
window decorations didn't show up.

Thanks for the tip though.
