I am Unity only and I want to give Gnome a try on Ubuntu 16.10 (edit :now, i switched to 17.04, and the issue is the same). I installed gnome with apt install gnome-shell ubuntu-gnome-desktop
. I kept LightDM
as single display manager.
When login to either gnome classic
or gnome
, many windows, but not all, no longer have borders : I can't resize them, and they look weired. Also, rounded corners shows black pixels. (when login with gnome (Wayland)` session I only got a black screen. But that's another issue)
Moreover, full screen windows (e.g. Firefox
) doesn't match and we can see a few pixels of my background above and below window's titles.
I guess this have something to do with client-side decorations
, or maybe Compiz
?
I've seen similar things here and there on older distributions. This issue seems to be a little different.
Question :
I don't want to mess up with Unity, because I'm very skeptical about sticking to gnome, especially after experiencing such issues in the very first moments.
Can I fix that bug and keep both gnome
and unity
working properly ?
