I seemed to have lost my title bars for my application windows. Every time i open an application or an application throws up an extra box it seems to expand top fill my destop area so i can no longer see or reach the desktop without closing the application down. I have tried the two main suggestions on these forums but i am getting various error messages:

command: compiz -- replace

dave@dave-desktop:~$ compiz -- replace

can't you still access the menu bars spanning the top and bottom of your screen? theres a desktop button on the bottom one that switches back to your desktop. you can try typing ctrl-alt-d and that will bring you too the desktop.

Yes i can, but that does not solve the problem of being able to resize any of my application windows. which i would like to do.
