Try to re-start the desktop managerby pressing <ctrl> + <alt> + <backspace> Or in terminal type sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart Or killall gnome-panel
These problems are probably due to Beryl as it seems a bit hard on systems try also to re-start Beryl manager right click Beryl icon for options and then enable Beryl in select Beryl manager option. I had these problems in Ubuntu 7.04 and Sabayon linux so I installed Mepis 6.5 and that seemed fine till I got the same problems so now I am back to Sabayon linux and I don't mess too much playing with settings leave well alone! I am now a great fan of Sabayon linux as everything is installed by default plus it has two games installed and the desktop looks great! On my removable HD's I also have dual boot XP and Ubuntu 6.10. this is a great way to check out distros having removable HD's. PCLinuxOS will also be another super distro which comes out 24th May. With regard to re-sizing windows with Beryl running it can take some time for the window to move and if you widen the window the min and max buttons re-appear. I hope that some of these help someone. -- Top and Bottom Screen Panels Stopped Working Properly in Ubuntu Feisty https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/109760 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
