I had the same problem, which happend every few times I booted. I didnt have a clue what the problem was, although this was 3or4 HD formats ago (I mess about with different distros a lot, and regually format drives lol) My advice.. reboot, and see if you still have a problem <div class="gmail_quote">On Dec 11, 2007 7:31 PM, Andrew Jenkins <<a href="mailto:andrew.jenkins@bigfoot.com">andrew.jenkins@bigfoot.com</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">I've been playing around with the Advanced Desktop Effects Settings.  Since this, everytime I open a window/application it opens with the top of the window at the top edge of the screen and the 'title bar' (the bit above the menu bar) off the top edge of the screen.  The only way I can get to it is to right- click the application on the lower applications open panel and click the 'move', whereupon I can drag the window back down a little and reveal the title bar. Even if I close the app with the window pulled down in this manner it will open next time as before (no title bar visible). I've unset all the things I set up in the Advanced settings but to no avail.  Anybody have any ideas?
