[Launchpad Bug Tracker <928446@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

After turning on an external monitor, the window decoration disappeared
on one of my open windows.

To reproduce:
1) Boot 12.04; login
1a) (optional?) Work for awhile - browse in FF, email with Thunderbird, use the terminal, etc
2) Launch thunderbird; compose a new message in a new window
3) Plug in an external monitor
4) Launch nvidia-settings; enable the second monitor in Twinview mode (I had to press 'Apply' twice to get the OS to use the external monitor; the first time did not result in anything displayed on the external monitor. I think this is a separate bug)

Expected results:
Desktop/launcher/panel appear on the second monitor. All open, non-maximized windows retain their decoration

Actual results:
Desktop/launcher/panel appear on the second monitor. The compose window from step #2 loses its decoration. The missing decoration seemed permanent rather than an artifact - using super-w to show all windows still showed the window sans decoration.

Maximizing then minimizing the window w/ missing decoration (by double-
clicking the place where the title bar should have been) resulted in the
decoration being restored.

The external monitor is 1280x1024 while the internal monitor is
1440x900; I am not sure if that is relevant.
