I have the title bar problem where each time I restart or log in, I have no title bars. If I check the Visual Effects, it has defaulted to 'none'. If I select 'normal', after it briefly searches for drivers, the title bars are restored. I can then select 'none' or 'extra' and the title bars remain.

However, no matter what I leave the Visual Effects setting at, when I restart or log out and log back in, I've lost the title bars and the Visual Effects are set to 'none'.

Also, manually starting metacity restores the title bars.

My problem is not quite the same as the first post, as the position of the minimize/maximize/close buttons is remembered (I prefer the right), so once I set the visual effects to restore the title bars, the buttons are still on the right.

I've tried removing ~/.gconf/desktop/gnome/session/required_components but this made no difference. The compiz package is installed.

I performed an update from 9.10 to 10.04 and as of 30th April have all updates.

Any ideas?
