thats a bug in compiz as i faced it too on a system (without unity enabled) there are two things you can do at the moment. find metacity in the applications folder and open it (it will bring your panels too, they are running but not visible). or open tty1, login and do the following.
$ export DISPLAY=:0 $ metacity --replace ** Package changed: unity (Ubuntu) => compiz (Ubuntu) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/685325 Title: Gnome menus & window titles missing -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
