Can't Move Windows in Gnome

[Nick Webb]

Hi all,

I have the strangest problem.  When I login to Gnome as a certain user every
application I open appears as normal, but without the "window" and the
minimize/maximize/close icons.  This makes it pretty difficult to
multitask.  It's almost as if the windows manager part of Gnome isn't
starting, but I'm not sure where to view the logs on this or figure out what
is wrong.

Gnome is working fine for root, and I presume it works for other users as
well.  It's my suspicion that I've messed up some "." directory (like
"~/username/.gconf or .gnome2" as I think I've seen this once before.  I did
try and restore the .gconf* and .gnome* directories for this user, but it is
still broken.

It was working fine until I applied a bunch of updates via yum the other
day, including a new nvidia module which really hosed things too (apparently
my card is too old for the latest driver, so I uninstall the new version and
install the "legacy" version, which works fine).

Any tips?

Thanks!

Nick
