They are fine if I switch to LXDE or kde. What part of xfce needs to
be reinstalled?
The WindowManager takes care of borders and title bars, etc. The
sizes and colors are determined by which theme the WindowManager is
using.
Xfce4 uses Settings->WindowManager. Once there select the Style tab.
That gives you options for Title font and font-size, alignment, and
buttons (Minimize, Maximize, Close, etc) and Themes. Try selecting a
different theme than the one that is highlighted (the current
setting). If that fixes the windows go ahead and click on the
originally highlighted Theme and you should be back to where you started.
If the WM is so badly hosed that doesn't work you could try restarting
the WindowManager, which is probably "xfwm4".
killall -HUP xfwm4 or pkill -HUP xfwm4 or kill -HUP $(pidof xfwm4)
If none of that works a reboot might get whatever is tangled up
straightened out.
There have been multiple boots with to try alternate desktops.
Finally you could just install xfwm4 again which will bring in
anything that may have gone walkies on you.
All of this is assuming that the fault lies with the window manager.
In fact, if you're feeling adventurous you could even install a
different window manager. There is no hard and fast rule tying a
specific window manager to a desktop environment, which in your case
is xfce4.
How could xfce4 be told to use Openbox?
