This follows an upgrade from Intrepid to Jaunty.  After rebooting, the
window decorations are missing from all windows (i.e. they have no
border so they cannot be dragged or resized and the maximise, minimise
and close buttons are absent.)

The fix is to go System>Preferences>Appearance and on the Visual Effects
tab change the selection from "None" to "Normal" or  "Extra". This
restores normal behaviour. However on reboot, the setting is lost and
the problem has returned, changing the selection of Visual Effect again
fixes the problem for that session only.

It may or may not be significant that I ran the Computer Janitor and
removed everything found (except the .deb files). I use an nVidia
graphics card, but i don't think this is significant (here's someone
with the same problem using an ATi card:
