No, that sounds like a bug. Or misconfiguration of some kind. Can you create a new user account and try logging in? If window decorations appear there, that means the problem is in your configuration somewhere in your home directory. > Neither the terminal nor Tomboy (just to mention two examples) have a > head (where I can click to drag a window somewhere) and the close > button is therefore missing among with the other buttons (no, it's not > in the upper panel), so when I want to close Tomboy I need to do it > from the menu or press Ctrl+F4. So you have a working window manager, but no window decorations. Do you have a process named 'unity-window-decorator' (perhaps truncated to 'unity-window-de') running? Can you try to change your windowing theme in System Settings -> Appearance to, e.g. Ambiance or Radiance and see if that helps?
