I've been playing with F7 and have managed to mess up my desktop
somehow. Any windows that I open have no title bar and are in the
upper left corner of the screen over the toolbar. I've tried
everything I can think of to fix it. I've reloaded gdm, I've tried
resetting display sizes, and I removed and replaced the toolbar. If
I start the computer as root it works fine, it is just my user that
is messed up. If I use kde or xfce the problem is the same. Any
ideas what I've messed up?
I'm seeing the same thing with Compiz enabled curently, it's odd since
for the most part Compiz has behaved really well all during the F7
cycle. Do we have a bug on this?

The symptom sounds like the window manager is not functional. You might
try metacity --replace and file a bug regarding compiz malfunctioning.

Jim:
Thanks for the response. I tried metacity --replace and when I press
<ENTER> the window headers immediately appear. metacity does nothing
for a few minutes and then prints;
[root@localhost knute]# metacity --replace
Window manager warning: Invalid WM_TRANSIENT_FOR window 0x2600007
specified for 0x2600023 (Input).
Window manager warning: Invalid WM_TRANSIENT_FOR window 0x2600007
specified for 0x2600023 (Input).
Window manager warning: Invalid WM_TRANSIENT_FOR window 0x2600007

Window manager warning: Invalid WM_TRANSIENT_FOR window 0x2600007
specified for 0x2600023 (Input).
and then nothing. It does not return to the prompt. If I kill
metacity the window headers immediately disappear.
Anything else I can try? Why would it work fine for root but not me?
Thanks,
I guess 'metacity --replace &' would free up the terminal window.
If you wanted to permanently change the window manager,
'gnome-session-properties &' has the save the current session option
under session options.
The last time that I needed to deal with a defunct window manager, I ran
these commands as the current GUI user from a gnome-terminal. (All
lapped over in the upper left corner before starting the window manager)
You should be able to launch a terminal from applications/System
tools/terminal from the menu.
