I was going to try turning on visual effects, but then it turned out
that I had removed compiz while removing gnome and reinstalling ubuntu-
desktop.

So after installing compiz (compizconfig-settings-manager and its
dependencies), I selected Appearence from the System->Preferences menu,
clicked the Visual-effects tab and selected Normal.

Then I got a pop-up dialog-box asking me if I wanted to keep the new
settings. I clicked the "keep settings"-button and then that dialog and
the visual settings dialog box both froze. (other applications kept
working and there was no process with high CPU load).

I pressed the X in the upper left corner of the keep settings dialog,
after some time a new dialog appeared asking me if I wanted to force
"Keep settings" to quit. I clicked the "force quit" button and both the
"keep settings"-dialog and the visual effects dialog dissappeared.

After this, the window borders appeared on all windows, it was possible
to move all windows, and also the alt + function-keys started to work.
