I switched to twm using gnome's control center and got my window ornaments back!!! Now I can drag windows. Now I can resize windows. Life is good! :)
Thank you Alex. Now I'm gonna try rebuilding sawfish and see if that fixes it.

tried Apple X11, because my window manager never got started. Can you
verify that your window manager is in fact running?

I have not found a solution to the problem as previously posted:Package manager version: 0.11.2I rebuilt (yesterday) Gnome related files without success. I hoped
Distribution version: 0.5.1.cvs
Mac OS X version: 10.2.3
December 2002 Developer Tools
gcc version: 3.1
make version: 3.79
Since the most recent round of updates, windows created by Gnome
applications are anchored to the upper left-hand corner (0,0) of the
screen. Furthermore, the ability to resize windows has disappeared. I
realize that by using unstable versions of the software I'm always
running a risk that things won't work, but I was wondering if someone
might have a suggestion as to what might be causing the problem.
today's Gnome updates might provide a solution, but the problem
remains. The X11 patch has been applied and those files have been
rebuilt also. I have been <rm -r .gnome> in between each effort.
The fact that I seem to be the only one with the problem suggests I'm
missing something simple. Gnome was working fine before the batch of
updates prior to today's. Suggestions would be much appreciated.
