When using compiz-fusion (I'm on Debian, KDE, emacs-snapshot), new Emacs frames (M-x make-frame, or, emacsclient -c) are not started correctly. In fact, they do start as can be seen from 'ps ax | grep emacs' but the frame seems to vanish somewhere in the Nirvana outside the scope of the window-manager. No frame is to be seen, no icon is visible in the task-manager, and the frame isn't accessable by Alt-TAB. I found some hints to the problem via Google (eg. http://forum.compiz-fusion.org/showthread.php?t=3D9279), but no solution. A guy writes: ,---- | I *believe* it has something to do compiz's effort to take a | larger-than-viewport window ad rezise its borders. `---- Any suggestions?
