Windows decoration disappear and the windows freeze

[Varun Mittal]

Recently installed Ubuntu 12.04
Overall experience is good but the random 'windows decoration' disappearance is sort of a nuisance.
Each time it happens I have to open up ccsm, deselect 'window decoration' then reselect it

Issue observed [Randomly]:
Window borders disappear all of a sudden. I am able to open new windows, tabs etc but if the windows don't open in full screen mode they are stuck on the screen wherever they appear. I am not able to move them , resize them since either the borders are gone or the 3 buttons(close, max, min) go missing
If the window open in full screen, I can pull them down from the top panel and able to move them around. But the moment I leave the window at some place on the screen it's stuck there

Method to reproduce:
Not certain. Happens randomly with different apps.

The program 'gtk-window-decorator' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)'.
  (Details: serial 163123 error_code 3 request_code 20 minor_code 0)
  (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
   that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
   To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
   option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
   backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)
