Hi, folks

I have lost my Desktop window borders. I am using Debian "lenny"
updated. Problem occurred after an abortedattempt to install Compiz..
I get the following error from theSystem>preferences>windows menu.. "
Cannot start the preferences application for your window
manager.Window manager "unknown" has not registered a configuration
tool..

Any help would be great... J ack



Why don't you try aptitude reinstall metacity? That may work.


aptitude purge metacity && aptitude install metacity (If this gives you
dependency errors reinstall everything else as well).

Have'nt done this yet,but
A little more info... what might "everything else" entail????
I'm guessing you mean whatever dependency errors occur...
Thanks, Jack
