I just upgraded my mini laptop to 11.04 (from 10.10). There are a few
things that I need to know if I'm going to do anything useful at all:
For example, when I open a terminal, the upper part of its window is
hidden under the upper panel and I can't find a way to move the window
away from it. Alt+drag doesn't work as far as I have tried. I need to
do that, since I can't see the first row of the terminal, or I have to
hit enter to start typing at the second or third row.
Are all the windows supposed to be ”headless”?
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?
