Why does my window border disappeared?

[yangzhyo]

When I use keyboard shortcut Alt+Space+X to maximize window, the window border always disappeared, and I can't handle it. So what's going on? How can I fix it? My Ubuntu version is 11.10. Thanks!

Maybe you have to reset compiz:


gconftool-2 --recursive-unset /apps/compiz-1 && gconftool-2 --type=list --list-type=string --set /apps/compiz-1/general/screen0/options/active_plugins [core,bailer,detection,composite,opengl,compiztoolb ox,decor,grid,move,resize,mousepoll,regex,snap,gno mecompat,place,imgpng,vpswitch,animation,wall,work arounds,fade,session,expo,ezoom,unityshell] && compiz --replace & disown

May still have no window borders and you need to run this command again


compiz --replace & disown

Thanks for your help.
I removed Compiz yesterday. Maybe it causes my trouble.
Is the latest version of Compize supported by Ubuntu 10.10?

Usually nobody looks back, everybody tries to fix the bugs on the latest versions.

I find the truth is system set keyboard shortcut 'Alt+Space' the meaning of 'Activate the window menu', so every time I used 'Alt+Space' combination will cause the window border problem. I can't understand why? What's the correct action should be when 'Activate the window menu'?
