The only time I've seen anything like this is when compiz's window
decorator failed for some reason, but that results in the window bar
disappearing completely. I usually just restarted metacity with
"metacity --replace" and it sorted itself out.

You should still be able to move the windows by holding alt + left click
to drag.
