this happens when using update manager, no others.
It is now restarted by using Compiz Fusion Icon
It occurs occasionally, not always repeatable.

1) open update manager from menu
2) input administrative password.
3) resatart window manager if window decorations disappear and windows move to upper right hand corner of screen
4) reposition open windows

Could you see if this is still a problem for you with Ubuntu 9.10? I've never been able to reproduce but there have been a lot of changes to compiz and the graphics drivers.
