Hi all,
My gf recently upgraded her Dell laptop from Karmic to Lucid but has since experienced some issues with the windowing system. Is called Metacity? - I'd call it the "chrome" of the windows, eg. the title bar, maximise & close buttons etc.
The description of the problem she's given me is as follows:
"Every time I turn my laptop on it comes up with a small window and when I access the internet, it wont let me maximise/minimise the window.
I have to go to System/Appearances/Visual Effects and reset it to Normal. This then resolves the problem. But the next time I open my laptop, the settings have been forgotten and I have to go through the same process again."
Can anyone suggest a fix? It's taken me ages to steer her away from windows but she's had a few problems since upgrading and she's thinking about heading back to the "dark side"...
Any suggestions appreciated :)
Cheers,
Terry
