    [SOLVED] No title bars on anything I open?

    Hello to everyone. I'm still a noob to all of this but learning. I'm running Ubuntu 9.10 and I installed Compiz Fusion but now the only thing I can open that has a title bar that I can move around is Google Chrome, everything else I open, even firefox, has no title bar and I cant move the boxes around the screen. Does anyone know how to fix this?? any help is greatly appreciated.

    Did you install the video drivers already?

    I'm probly way off base... but are you opening things in full-screen mode?

    Open something, like Firefox, and hit F11.

    First let me thank the both of you for responding to my problem.
    I have since solved the problem, it seems that it was a compiz or emerald problem. When I opened the terminal and typed: metacity --replace, everything went back to normal. I just had to redo some of the settings in Compiz to get it working the way I like.

    I'm not sure how to put this thread so it says (Solved), maybe someone can explain that to me?

    Again, thanks soooooo much for helping

    I edited your thread to your liking, I'm not sure if you can edit your own posts after so many hours.
