I have the same problem, but I am on KDE (64bit Kubuntu 7.10; Nvidia 7300GS & 100.14.23 driver; AMD Athlon 64 4000+; (1) monitor @ 1600x1200); I've found that if you just press Alt+F2 and run the command "emerald", the window manager (Emerald) restarts and you once again have window decorations. You don't have to log out and back in, but it's still aggravating.

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Could you please add your ~/.xsession-errors, /var/log/Xorg.0.log and the output of lspci -vvnn to your bug report as separate attachments? Thanks in advance.

Yes, I believe emerald is the common denominator
