Good morning, on a random basis, not too frequently, and unrelated to
anything I can put my finger on, the title bars of all windows on my
gnome desktop (ubuntu 8.10) are missing. This will happen on logging
in, I can't say if logging out and back in, or restarting X prior to
logging back in fixes it, since each time it happens (iirc) and I log
out to try, I get an unresponsive system that has to be power cycled, as
did happen today.
It's somewhat annoying, and am wondering if anyone has experienced this
and know of the cure. Compiz is running, I've not located a setting
that seems to have an impact on this and will rectify. Perhaps it's
just a little buggy and is as good as it gets for now . . .
Cheers,

It would be interesting to know if this happens if Compiz is turned off.
I have had similar issues with the Kwin stuff.
Also what is the version of X, the video card and its driver that your are
using?
It _may_ be relevant that there were some X related updates released today.
Have you installed them? ( you'll have to log out of your account and re-start
X for them to have an effect. )

According to apt-get upgrade I am fully patched. By a nice co-incidence
I experienced the same issue of the disappearing title bar this
morning. Choosing "reload window manager" from the compiz fusion applet
(applications -> system tools) resolves it. So it's definitely a
compiz-related thing for me. Video card is GeForce 8600 GT, dual
screen. nvidia drivers 169.12.
