Dissapearing titlebars?!?!
I'm assuming this is a software prob anyways....
I'm running Fedora 6 on an Asus laptop (2x1.6GHz, 1024MB, 100Gb, NVidia 7300Go 512MB) and it's all been going great... up until this morning when I lost all my titlebars. This means I can't minimise, maximise etc and when something's set up to run fullscreen (Firefox) I can't reach the taskbar.

Using Gnome. I've tried logging in as a different user on Gnome, and they have titlebars, and I've tried using KDE, and that has titlebars too...but I prefer using Gnome.

Ahah! Fixed... touch wood
I removed and then reinstalled gdm and xorg-x11-twm (Both window managers) Thinking about it now, I probably only needed to do gmd, 'cos KDE was already working. Meh, all's well that ends well!

...like now
If anyone else is looking for a solution to this, the way I fixed it (ie, worked for me, may not for you) is the following:
1) Disable the Desktop Effects (System, Preferences, Desktop Effects)
2) Choose a new theme (and then go back to your favourite if you want)
3) Logout / Login
4) Enable Desktop Effects
