Did you, by any chance, enable the "Desktop Effects"?

I saw a similar issue, (I lost the Title Bar on ALL windows, period), after
I enabled, then several days later disabled, "Desktop Effects".

I fixed it by re-enabling, then immediately disabling, "Desktop Effects".

My Title Bars have been fine since.


Hope that helps,
Randy
