    Cool lost window headers

    I recently installed the updated nvidia drivers and followed the directions to the letter. I have the accelerated graphics driver working however I lost the header on all of my windows. I cannot minimize, maximize, or close individual windows using the header atop the window. I can close using File and "quit" or "close" or use alt+f4. I cannot move ANY window at all! There is no dragging windows or any of the transparent traits working correctly.

    This is the first time I have followed a tutorial using Linux. It was very helpful, however I must have typed something incorrectly or something any ideas?

    Suse 10.1
    Nvidia GeForce FX5500
    Intel 3.6Ghz
    1G DDR Memory

    I had the same problem with my NVidia driver too. I was still able to move my windows around though and it seems that all other tricks worked too. But I need that Titlebar to be able to max or min or even close the windows. I just assumed that it was my graphic card but now I'm wondering if it isn't the driver. Let me know if anyone comes up with a solution for this problem. I'm keeping my eyes open for another card just to try.

    Good Luck.

    What instructions, what tutorial?

    nVidia has instructions on the download file page and I've never had a problem using their second method which is to dl the driver, install it and then let the nVidia script lead the way. Some tutorials I've read just don't work for a variety of reasons.
