The close, max and min buttons have vanished from the right side of all windows. How do I restore them please.

[Roger Bingham]

This problem suddenly appeared after installing a number of neww packages. Unable to say which package may have caused it. As best I remember, the packages were Wine, Gfax, Gtkpod, screenshot, terminal, dictionary, calculator and ConvertAll.

I have the same problem after an update of intrepid. One of the package that was updated was metacity.

[syscon-hh (syscon-kono)]

I can confirme these effect - it's triggered by today updates of the packages:

> metacity_2.23.21-0ubuntu1
> metacity-common_2.23.21-0ubuntu1
> libmetacity0_2.23.21-0ubuntu1

By downgrading with the relevant packages Version 2.22.0-0ubuntu4 the effects can be eleminated.

The effect is activ in the compiz-desktop only, by typing 'metacity --replace' in the console/terminal correct head of the windows will be shown after a new login (restart gdm).

"The effect is activ in the compiz-desktop only"

Then this bug does not belong under metacity. I'm moving it to compiz in case they have any ideas.

[syscon-hh (syscon-kono)]

The buttons re-appear after update "compiz_0.7.6" and are useable, but I'm not satisfied in whole due to the bad arrangement of them - see attachements

[syscon-hh (syscon-kono)]

And now today Compiz:

[syscon-hh (syscon-kono)]

Sorry -above is bevorb update and now the actually issue

[Pedro Villavicencio (pedro)]

not a metacity issue.

We were wondering if this is still an issue for you. Can you try with the latest Ubuntu release? Thanks in advance.

[Roger Bingham (turon124)]

G'day,

I gave up on the problem and installed 8.04 and have had no further
instances of it.

Regards,

Roger
