Sorry, I can't make sense of the above sentence.  You say you have the
problem running 12.04 with Cinnamon, but also saw it on 10.04 with
Gnome (There are several different Gnome desktop versions).  However
it works ok with Unity 2d.  Perhaps you meant the erroneous
decorations are there with Unity.

What happens if you log in as a different user?  Create one if you
have not got one or log in as Guest user if that is enabled on your
system.

I presume you have re-booted as previously suggested.
