That looks a bit like #478012 but in the end it was a config problem.
Could you retry with a fresh user, just to be sure?
Could you check if you use compositing? Check in Settings manager,
Window Manager tweaks, last tab. Check if the setting is greyed out or
not, and if it's selected or not.
And could you tell us which xorg driver you use?
Cheers,
OK. Created a new user account on the system, called 'test2' using
'useradd -m test2'. The result was a user account with just the
standard .bashrc, .bash_logout and .profile files. Nothing else.
Logged in, started X with 'startx' and then brought up the
xfce4-terminal. Same behaviour as previously: the title/borders are not
rendered, but seem to exist. I also noticed that dragging the window
around causes whatever background existed behind the (invisible) title
to move as well.
Checked the compositor settings: not selected, and not greyed out either.
The X11 driver is 'neomagic'.
Now that I have noticed the movement of the background images on
click-and-drag, it's almost as if everything is working correctly,
except for the screen rendering for the title/borders. It's bizarre
that it's just this one application.
I'm not an X11 programmer, but is it possible for the terminal program
to cause the window manager to mess up the title/border rendering?
I don't know if it will be any use, but I have attached the output of
xdpyinfo and a copy of my xorg.conf file.
