I've unset all the things I set up in the Advanced settings but to no avail. Anybody have any ideas? Andy Jenkins. I get the same thing on my laptop, without playing about much with Compiz effects. Every time I reboot, I have a couple of saved windows/apps opening up as part of the session - a GEdit window and a gnome-terminal, and maybe a Nautilus directory window. Each of these appears 9 times out of 10 with the title bar behind the top panel. Fortunately, I knew about Alt-dragging the windows, so I can move them. But wherever I leave them, they often (always?) reappear behind the panel. I'm running Gutsy with the GNOME desktop, Compiz effects enabled, and it's patched up to last weekend's releases.

[ubuntu-uk] No title bar on windows.
I've been playing around with the Advanced Desktop Effects Settings. Since this, everytime I open a window/application it opens with the top of the window at the top edge of the screen and the 'title bar' (the bit above the menu bar) off the top edge of the screen. The only way I can get to it is to right- click the application on the lower applications open panel and click the 'move', whereupon I can drag the window back down a little and reveal the title bar. Even if I close the app with the window pulled down in this manner it will open next time as before (no title bar visible).

Re: [ubuntu-uk] No title bar on windows.
I had the same problem, which happend every few times I booted. I didnt have a clue what the problem was, although this was 3or4 HD formats ago (I mess about with different distros a lot, and regually format drives lol) My advice.. reboot, and see if you still have a problem On Dec 11, 2007 7:31 PM, Andrew Jenkins [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I've been playing around with the Advanced Desktop Effects Settings.

The only time I've seen anything like this is when compiz's window decorator failed for some reason, but that results in the window bar disappearing completely. I usually just restarted metacity with metacity --replace and it sorted itself out. You should still be able to move the windows by holding alt + left click to drag.
