I just can't figure out what else I could have done to solve the problem. Unless I didn't restart and the new Compiz install hadn't fully taken effect.

I am using Ubuntu and root is disabled. But why else would Synaptic work perfectly in the desktop that it was installed on and crash immediately after entering the password in GTK? And it kept doing that. I tried a lot of different variables and that was what it kept coming back to.

I just tried it.  It doesn't; instead it asks for the root password directly.

I think that I have the problem of the title disappearing when the
screen is maximized.  I think because it is the only change that I made
to my system and the problem is gone.

I saw a program to set preferences for AMD processors in my start menu
and, because it's a Celeron M processor, I uninstalled it. The problem
then disappeared.
Obviously settings for AMD processors shouldn't have an effect on Intel ones.
And why would settings for the wrong processor affect graphics somehow?  :-/
Makes no sense.
