I have had this issue once. Following all the instructions above just don't work. Then, I solve this simply by add "compiz --replace" into startup applications.
Here's my stupid case. I forgot to start compiz as session start. Distro: Xubuntu feisty. 1. I manually start compiz by "compiz --replace" 2. Found that my Terminal appears as nothing but white screen 3. Restart xserver( Ctrl-Alt-Backspace) 4. Missing window border 5. Panic for several days searching solutions 6. Manually start compiz again by "compiz --replace" 7. everything come back. I should start compiz thru "Desktop-effects" -- compiz does not show window boards or the cube https://launchpad.net/bugs/80778 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
