I find it strange that you don't have titlebars even when metacity is set as the window manager. It's probably not a faulty driver then, but rather some other settings as you say. However, you can see in Hardware drivers under System -> Administration if the latest nvidia driver is installed. It should be the one that's recommended by Ubuntu, I think the version is 193-something. You can also start nVidia settings (under the same menu i believe) and see which driver version it uses.
As far as my knowledge goes I really don't know what else to do but to reset the settings directory completely, which should work since creating a new user works. However, that's considered a last resort :) -- Lucid has no title bars - Metacity issue https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/560082 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to metacity in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
