Visual Effects set to Normal makes the window title and border disappear when nvidia driver is installed

[Zsejki Sorin Miklós]

I have Ubuntu 8.04 beta 64-bit with updates and the proprietary nvidia driver installed.

When I choose System > Preferences > Appearance Preferences > Visual Effects > Normal, the window title and border disappear and only the client area remains. It worked with 7.10 on this same computer.

I can confirm this on i386 too. It happens on 2 machines I am using. I had to turn effects off since computers were freezing constantly.

Sorry, the last file has an .old extension, not the same name as the previous one.

Thanks for the feedback.

Yes, I've noticed. I am still waiting to be able to apply the updates,
because currently I get some error message that I can't update all the
packages. I will try again and, if not successful, later I will start
with a fresh installation and updates.
