It can also happen if the compiz gconf database got screwed, which can happen if you upgraded from something earlier than 0.0.13-0.12.20060721git. In that case, uninstall and then reinstall compiz. Other than that, as Adam mentions, compiz relies on an external helper program, gnome-window-decorator, to draw the window decorations. The recommended way to start compiz is to go to the System->Preferences->More Preferences->Desktop Effects and click the big button there. This will start compiz the right way and set it as your default windows manager. If that still doesn't work for, please let us know.
+1 I have to do # compiz --replace gconf every time my system starts to have windows borders. Zuirdj -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
