Hi:
I just upgraded 9.10 to 10.04. Strange thing now is the desktop is kinda screwed up. Here's what I see:
1) New terminals have no frame, which means no maximize/minimize/drag & drop/exit/etc.
2) I cannot click on a terminal and enter text.
3) Trying "Preferences->Windows" returns an error: "Window manager 'unknown' has not registered a configuration tool".
4) If I login to my wife's account, all of the above works without error (and as expected).
I have archived my user files from the 9.1 install. Is there something I should copy over to restore functionality, or tweak back to a default?
A couple more things I've noticed using the wife's Gnome Desktop...
1) I cannot run xclock (sez "Error: Can't open display :0.0".
2) running vlc on a mpg file, the video seems to display in TEXT inside the terminal, kinda reminiscent of the Matrix! I've never seen this before but it seems not good.
