Bug Description

No border around windows, no resizing buttons (max, min, close). Windows cannot be moved or resized. Alt+tab and Alt+F4 have no effect, but some other keyboard shortcuts, e.g. ctrl+alt+T and ctrl+Q, seem to work ok. Only closing a window changes focus; even clicking with mouse doesn't. For instance, I can use ctrl+alt+t to open a terminal, and click in it all I want, but even though it is on top, whatever I type just goes into this window. When I close the browser, however, it will gain focus.

It sounds like the XFCE window manager has crashed, but I'm not sure. It might be a good idea to follow these steps:
