Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: compiz


I upgraded a working 10.10 system to 11.04.  Initially all was OK, but my desktop cube had been replaced by a 2x2 grid.
I ran compizconfig-setting-manager and enabled desktop cube and immediately my window decoration vanished.
But there is still a window manager running and I can move and resize windows using key/mouse short cuts.  I can see two instances of compiz running (should there be only one?).

If I run metacity, it says there is already a window manager.
If I run metacity --replace, it runs and I get window decoration, but no compiz etc.

I have read #577482 and tried all the fixes listed there - they have no
effect (well most of them the file does not exist).

I've tried switching off the desktop cube and going back to wall.  This
does not fix the window decoration.

I've tried changing themes and editing my theme, also no joy.
