Bad form to reply to your own posts, but I need to report back that all is 
well. Somewhere along the line, compiz got upgraded from 0.2 to 0.5 (seemed 
like a good idea at the time), but it was incompatible with all the other 
bits and pieces. Downgrading has restored my window title bars, etc. 

So, that's lifted my spirits enough to try Compiz-Fusion (see Tom Parker's 
post lower down this thread). But maybe not yet, daughter's getting married 
on Saturday and I *still* haven't written that speech :(
