I just used yum to upgrade from Fedora 4 to 5. I am a new user to Linux, and loving my new NixBox! When the update finished, it rebooted... now when I open a "window" regardless if its a file folder or web browser, it doesn't have a header ( a place to click and drag, minimize, or close the window ) I think I might be missing something from the download. I have found no information on my web searches and am at a dead end.

Any help would be greatly apprieciated !

NixBox Rocks !

Which gui or windowmanager you are using?

If KDE then the easiest to try but loses current KDE layout.
First to test. Create a new user and logount then login to the new user. If Okay then you can logout.
Hit Alt-Ctrl_F1
Login as your normal user account.
Run the following commands.
mv .kde .kde_backup
mv .config .config_backup
mv .local .local_backup

Logout
Hit Alt_Ctrl_F7
Login as your normal user.

For Gnome I assume it be similair
Test new user account
Run this command instead
mv .gnome .gnome_backup

Also similiar to others like fluxbox, icewm, blackbox, and many others.

When i first boot up it says metadate window manager. Is that the same thing as KDU? Should i change my window manager?

Thanks again

Never heard or seen that before. No idea. This might help. Is the taskbar at the top or at the bottom? From the main toolbar icon is there a program called Control Center? If so open it and see what the first page says. If this is KDE. But my guess it is Gnome.

I don't see a Control Center but i found an icon that says Gnome help. I also tried to install a different window manager, fluxbox and when i open the rpm it gives me an error message. I am at a loss ...

Thanks

just for grins...

try opening up a terminal, and type:

metacity &

It says : [1] 8857
then... it says cannot access shared libraries.... permission denied
unfortuantely it wont allow me to minimize or copy/paste the exact verbage.. if it helps i will write it down then retype...

Thanks
