I recently installed Ubuntu 8.04 on my PowerMac G4 ad got Compiz-Fusion working. However, when I start it, the window controls don't show up. Can anyone help?

As you can see, you have still 3rd party gutsy packages installed.
Remove the 3rd party repository and remove all Compiz packages you have installed.
Then reload apt via Synaptic or 'sudo apt-get update' and install Compiz again.
