I have exactly the same problem. When I login and start an application it sticks in the upper left corner and has no window boarders.
Then I have to reenable the desktop effects and everything is fine until the next reboot or until I log out and log in. I also ran the script from here http://forlong.blogage.de/entries/pages /Compiz-Check and everything looks fine. ============================================= Gathering information about your system...
