This is the way it's meant to work. You mouseover the top panel left hand side. and that is where the titlebars and menus etc should appear. It's actually really good when you get used to the differences. It will take at least a week! Stick at it.

Not only are there no window decorations (borders, titlebars), they do not appear on a mouse·over, right·click menu panel·bar window·button menu items "
ove" and "Resize" do not work, although the "Maximize/Unmaximixe/ Minimize" do work.

I fixed this problem (by stumbling around).

Since I have other, older distributions working with Compiz, I opened ccsm from one of them and compared them to the 12.04 upgrade ccsm.

Strangely, after enabling Windows decorations, move, and re·size the problems stated is this question were solved.

By setting others from the older ccsm, I got a rotating cube.

Alas, there are no more 3D windows.
