Colin,

I am running the Cinnamon desktop, however, it was the same when I was running 
Gnome on 10.04 and the decorations and are still there if I login with ubuntu 2d 
(Unity) selested. Everything was working fine until about Tuesday evening.

Window decorations are a black bar with orange and grey buttons on the right (I 
changed them at installation time from the left). I have noticed that several of 
the system icons are no longer displaying correctly.

I have 2 other desktop systems configured in the same fashion that are still 
working fine. It is just the laptop that has problems.

Jay
