  • type in the terminal

    ~$ gconf-editor

    and then in the configuration editor go to: desktop>gnome>session>required_components>windowma nager

    in windowmanager you'll find the parameter 'compiz' change it for 'metacity' (without the single quotes), and log-out or reboot, and everything just gonna work fine again. btw happy holidays.

  • I had the same syndrome with remote session from my Ubuntu 11.04: no title bar and no window frame on my remote NX session on Windows Xp and Windows 7 x64. Yet it was correct on local session and also correct on remote NX session from another Ubuntu 11.04.
    I tried everything mentioned here to no avail. I also moved back to Gnome 2 from Gnome 3. No difference.
    I finally found the solution: upgrade from NX client 3.5.0.6 to 3.5.0.7. It did the trick. It cured the problem on both XP et Win7 clients. Hallelujah!
