    No borders, title bars, etc until I laucnch metacity

    Hi,

    I've just upgraded to 8.04. When I log in and launch an app. I get no
    title bars and no borders. I have to open up a shell prompt and type "metacity" then everything works just fine.

    Does anybody have any ideas on how I can permanently fix this?

    Thanks!

    Do you have extra visual effects enabled?
    What videocard do you use?

    I have an ATI X550 using the fglrx driver.

    In system -> preference -> appearance I have no visuals turned on.


    Any ideas?

    Thanks
