Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: metacity
I have several symptoms with ubuntu 9.10 which I believe to be the same
issue.
1. I can no longer use the Minimize, Maximize, or Close buttons, or move
a window. The window bar just doesn't respond to being clicked on.
2. Alt+Tab will not switch between windows nor will clicking them with
the mouse, and the Panel buttons wont work when I have other programs
open.
3. All the icons have disappeared from the notification area including
the network connection manager which is preventing me from connecting to
the internet.
It worked fine one day, the next i switched on my computer, inserted a dvd rom,
browsed through it, and opened a txt file. Next I opened a the console from the
panel menu. when I tried to switch back to Gedit it would not gain focus.
I tried rebooting the computer and I went from having symptoms 1 and 2 to also
having symptom 3.
If I use the Indicator applet to switch to a guest session then every thing
works fine.
I assume metacity is the problem, I can't think of anything else it might be.
