Bug Description

Hi,
I have no windows management with Gnome Classic. I can't minimize or close the windows (I have no signs for this). Also alt+tab doesn't work.
I re-installed metacity, gnome-shell and gnome-fallback-session.

Now, I know there was a bug report concerning this issue here
https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1053288
But my Bamf is already 0.3.2 and I'm still experiencing such issues (And of course I have the latest updates) and everything works fine with Unity.

Everything works normally if I choose Gnome Classic without the effects.

Looking at the screenshot I bet this is the same bug as https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-session/+bug/1036752

To verify, after logging into the normal Gnome Classic session, check ~/.xsession-errors and see if only the 'core' and 'ccp' compiz plugins are loaded. If so you can workaround the issue by using compizconfig-settings-manager to enable a minimal set of plugins, or just use the (no effects) session until the issue is fixed.

Thank you for your reply.

You're absolutely right. I have only those two plugins loaded.
I'm using the no effects session, and I think I will keep using it, it works faster on my computer.
