After enabling composite in xorg.conf, the metacity titlebar disappears on all windows when nvidia driver (nvidia geforce3 ti 500) is loaded. There is no problem when i use the defualt nv drivers but system becomes too slow. I have the latest nvidia drivers installed from livna repo:
nvidia-glx-1.0.7174-0.lvn.1.3
kernel-module-nvidia-2.6.11-1.27_FC3-1.0.7174-0.lvn.1.3

My system is completely updated through yum as of 6/9/05 along with the latest kernel for fedora core 3.

Here is my xorg.conf with the problem:
Notes:
1. when I moved the Section "Extensions" up top before Section "ServerLayout", X display crashed.
2. system log shows: nvidia-config-display: Parse error on line X (line where composite is enabled) of section Extensions in file /etc/X11/xorg.conf

# RgbPath is the location of the RGB database. Note, this is the name of the

# no need to change the default.
# Multiple FontPath entries are allowed (they are concatenated together)
# By default, Red Hat 6.0 and later now use a font server independent of
# the X server to render fonts.

# Specify which keyboard LEDs can be user-controlled (eg, with xset(1))
# Option "Xleds" "1 2 3"
# To disable the XKEYBOARD extension, uncomment XkbDisable.
# Option "XkbDisable"
# To customise the XKB settings to suit your keyboard, modify the
# lines below (which are the defaults). For example, for a non-U.S.
# keyboard, you will probably want to use:
# Option "XkbModel" "pc102"
# If you have a US Microsoft Natural keyboard, you can use:
# Option "XkbModel" "microsoft"
#
# Then to change the language, change the Layout setting.
# For example, a german layout can be obtained with:
# Option "XkbLayout" "de"
# or:
# Option "XkbLayout" "de"
# Option "XkbVariant" "nodeadkeys"
#
# If you'd like to switch the positions of your capslock and
# control keys, use:
# Option "XkbOptions" "ctrl:swapcaps"
# Or if you just want both to be control, use:
# Option "XkbOptions" "ctrl:nocaps"
