Hi all,
Yesterday I recovered from two freezes by Gnome 2.32 on a new OS 11.4
within one hour. I decided to carry on with KDE4. I am not sure how it happened, but I noticed that the bar on top of the menu bar, actually the top part of the frame, disappeared. Some windows cannot be resized by dragging a corner ( I mostly drag the bottom right corner). I can only close windows by the menu - file - Close/Quit, or when there is no menu, only by using F4.
How did it happen? Has it to do with desktop settings. Very annoying. Tried InternetSearch with goggle/ixquick, no clear answers found.
Sounds like your window manager is hosed. Are you using kwin? Did you choose compiz? Perhaps trying GNOME resulted in compiz or metacity being autostarted in your KDE session? If you're not sure, check the process list for those 3 processes. Then we can figure out how to fix that window manager, or revert it to kwin.

Assuming you have a system with more than one desktop evironment (KDE, GNOME) could consider this a workaround. If you was working on GNOME 2.32 enviroment with Desktop Effects and you want to go to the KDE session You should uncheck Desktop Effects first before switching desktop session from GNOME to KDE. This way seems the windows frames do not disappear anymore (including minimize, resize, close options on right top corner). And you can enjoy both desktop with no important drawback. I mean I can run Grid effects, Cube switch, Cover switch, Independent Workspaces, Activities. I cannot remember where I read it. Compiz-Fusion Gnome session make some negative influences over KDE windows frames when is activated.
