	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!
