close, maximize, and minimize windows and the Application title bar disappear
I am using GNOME Ubuntu 64 bit Lucid Lynx with Cairo Dock, Compiz Fusion, Screenlets
Sometimes when I start up linux the buttons to close, maximize, and minimize windows and the Application title bar disappear. Restarting usually fixes the problem.
Do you have any ideas why this would happen? Is there a command that will restart gnome without having to restart the computer?
Thanks

Hi!
Depending on what window decoration engine you use, you need to run (Alt+F2):
or
I don't know why it crashes though.

When my computer does it again it'll try the replace command and post back my results.
Thanks!

if it's happening with compiz then you could fire up the compiz settings manager (ccsm from terminal) and have a look at the window decorations settings under effects.

same problem with lucid 32bit. and it will solve by compiz --replace.
but why this happens sometimes? how we can solve this?
Re: close, maximize, and minimize windows and the Application title bar disappear
The compiz --replace worked great thanks!

This works... but why is this a problem even in May of 2011? Was this not fixed? I got this error 4 times in 2 days :(
Sounds like a bug everyone is going to get. I'm using 11.04 64-bit

I get this bug a few times every day. The 11.04 release is very dissapointing. :(
Re: close, maximize, and minimize windows and the Application title bar disappear
With the old netbook remix, the bars and panels disappeared in maximus when running a compositing engine.
The workaround was to shut off decorate. After that, everything stayed up.

Hi, you can not enable any effect in compiz when running unity, if you want compiz you need to log out and hit your user name and go to the bottom of the screen and click ubuntu classic and you can enable effects, I am running the cube and full effects in classic mode no problem at all. Compiz was not meant to be used with effects enabled in unity.Also you need to know that this is the first release with changes in the way ubuntu handles things, so it will get better as time goes on.:D
