I get the same thing on my laptop, without playing about much with
Compiz effects.

Every time I reboot, I have a couple of saved windows/apps opening up
as part of the session - a GEdit window and a gnome-terminal, and
maybe a Nautilus directory window.

Each of these appears 9 times out of 10 with the title bar behind the
top panel. Fortunately, I knew about Alt-dragging the windows, so I
can move them. But wherever I leave them, they often (always?)
reappear behind the panel.

I'm running Gutsy with the GNOME desktop, Compiz effects enabled, and
it's patched up to last weekend's releases.

Cofion/Regards,
Neil.
