This is due to the changed kwin API in KDE 4.4, but already fixed in compiz:

I'm sorry but I'm new to the whole open source thing.  I am not sure how to fix this problem with this http://cgit.compiz.org/compiz/core/commit/?h=compiz-0.8&id=04c6a44893a00088c63acd3ba327022f8aa551cc.  Can anyone help?

It is solved. If it's not solved in your binary distribution, please ask your distro people to include the patch I linked to (comment #2) into their compiz packages.

The best think to do (if you don't want to compile compiz by yourself, which I'd not recommend) is to open a bug with your distribution (against their compiz package) and point them to the link above to include the patch into their packages. They should know what to do with it.

If your want to compile yourself, just grab compiz 0.8.6 from http://releases.compiz.org/0.8.6/ and compile it, it already includes the fix. However, I would not recommend to do that unless you know exactly what you're doing.
Comment 30 cpilgrim33 2010-05-12 17:15:24 UTC
sorry I'm thinking that my 8 year old filed a few bug reports as he's the
only one thats been using my laptop and its the only affected system I
have... so once again sorry....

window decorator crash on upgrade kubuntu amd64 lucid
Comment 42 Marcelo Castilla 2010-06-24 22:07:33 UTC
I have a question on this issue...  its been a while and its definately not solved for me...

on the original post it says:   "i was changing from KWIN to Compiz in the Window Manager tab, changing back to KWIN does not report an error"

I just cant find that mentioned "Windows Manager" tab... Ive been looking for a week now and its simply not anywhere...

I even uninstalled compiz, but the problem remains...

It's not a tab: systemsettings -> Default Applications -> Window Manager.

> I even uninstalled compiz, but the problem remains...

In that case, you didn't uninstall it completely. kde4-window-decorator is part of the compiz packages, the package is called compiz-kde in most distros, I think.
