I've seen that after a NVidia/X goof.  For some reason it decided I
couldn't have the screen mode that I'd been using for months, and picked
a lower resolution one.  The objects on the title bar couldn't fit in
the same positions, so it moved them along (badly).

Move them to where you want to?  Right click and move anything you want
to.  Right click and *unlock* anything you can't move.

If you get really stuck, you can remove some things and add them again.
Take note of what they're called, first.
