The first thing you want to do when posting display problems especially is to post what kind of Onboard graphics/Graphics Card you are using. If you're not sure about that then maybe the motherboard name would help. If you still are not sure you can run the command

dmesg

I believe and then save it at pastebin.com and post a link here. if the dmesg message is too long for your screen then run

dmesg > myFile.txt

. This should give you a file with the output of dmesg in it which you can post in pastebin.com

After you know what grpahics card you have check out the thread I gae you at IRC which you can find here

http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=537430

Did this help? If not post your further issues here and wait for one of the experts to come by

( assuming u hav installed card drivers )

all you need to do is run this command.... & nothing else.

sudo nvidia-xconfig --add-argb-glx-visuals -d 24

sudo nvidia-xconfig --add-argb-glx-visuals -d 24

This would work if he was using Intel onboard?

No, of course not.

Looks like a simple case of Window decorator mess up. Install the package: Emerald Themer and run.
