I'm not sure what means decoration. The bar across the top
remains grayed out, and has words (which are clickable) but none of
the usual click-targets to close or change size.

I've been suspecting that, because of the window bars; and
when things are really bad, I've sometimes gotten what was clearly
no window manager known to me -- or even what may be none, doing
nothing but demanding userid and password, over and over; even a
reboot in that case works only with the reset button or power button
-- and getting out of it on next boot requires a re-install.

I tried to read that, really I did; but it's way, way over
my head, alas!
