Hi, now that you mention kde-window-decorator I thought I would refer
something I notice from time to time and is quite annoying. I believe
it's a problem across all libdecoration because I also get this with
metacity on two (very) different setups (nvidia/64bits and ati/32bits).
What happens is that after some time of using the decorators the
decorations stall, if I click a window it takes input focus but the
decoration stays as if it wasn't. I guess more people have this problem
? Maybe someone who knows about libdecoration can offer some insight.

Regards,
