window title bar missing

[Elis Popescu]

When I open an window (any type of window that has a title bar) and maximize it (by sticking it to the top panel) and restore it back many times, then the title bar of the window disappears. If I restart the system, then the problem is gone but it appears again if I do the same (described above).

I noticed that this problem appears not only when I stick the window to the panel but it appears after some time anyway, no matter I do.
It looks like after re-installing the compiz packages and playing with CompizConfi settings the problem disappeared.
My video card NVIDIA and I saw that also other people with NVIDIA have this problem with titlebar missing.

Did you modify xorg.conf (/etc/X11/xorg.conf) or change some parameter in "nvidia x server settins"???

If you do this. you can rewrite the file xorg.conf (I had the same problems and fixed with this)

$ cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Section "Device"
 Identifier "Default Device"
 Option "NoLogo" "True"
EndSection

Steps:
1. save a bakup fil of current file:
sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup

2. open xorg.conf file
sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf

3. delete all and paste:
Section "Device"
 Identifier "Default Device"
 Option "NoLogo" "True"
EndSection

4. Restart PC

OR maybe you need "Resetting xorg.conf"

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NvidiaMultiMonitors

at the bottom

"
Resetting xorg.conf
From a tty or the recovery mode kernel, you can run
sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg -phigh
"

This is happing to me i have ubuntu 11.10 installed, i realized that this happen most of the times when im using skype while im swtiching between wiindows, the way i restore the title bars is Compizsettings manager and disable and then enable the window decoration check box. Hopefully somebody can solve this bug due to is a nigthmare sometimes...
