This sounds like the very old "AddARGBGLXVisuals" bug:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/compiz/+bug/135641

I noticed on one machine when I upgraded from hardy-intrepid-jaunty that
I wasn't getting menus & boarders in termial windows, etc. I went back
and plugged in my old xorg.conf which includes 'Option
"AddARGBGLXVisuals" "True"' - mine are in the Modes section, logged
out/in and all is well again. You can also use 'gksu
/usr/bin/nvidia-settings' (or System|Administration|NVIDIA X Server
Settings) and let that manager modify for you (don't forget to save the
new settings). If you do not have this installed, then:

$ sudo apt-get install nvidia-settings
