Title Bar DISAPPEARS off top of all windows

[Machstem505]

I just started using 7.0.4 and discovered a 'nifty' little "feature". It was in
7.0.3 but not as pernicious. Sometime when I move the mouse off a page I'm on,
especially if there are a few windows open, they will all fly about and arrange
themselves neatly on the desktop and the desktop will grow darker. Click on one
of them and order is restored. Now enter 7.0.4 -- when all these windows go
flying about, the panel at the bottom of the page goes flying too. I clicked by
accident on the open space on the desktop and to my dismay, EVERYTHING (windows
and panel) disappeared, leaving me with a desktop but no access to menus accept
through drawer icons on the desktop.

How do I get back to the panel and the minimized windows on it?

similar sort of thing for me - no minimise maximise X in top right corner, and cannot move the window around.

Hello,
i had the disappearing title with knoppix 6.7.1 nearly every time ....
pressing ctrl-alt-f1 followed by init 1 and thereafter init 5 repaired the desktop but was not very convenient ...
because the previous version witout 3d did not have the problem i disabled 3d by using no3d ...
it worked perfectly ... ( and closing a window got much quicker without the animation .. )

now with 7.0.4 the title never got lost ...
( eventually because i disabled 3d short time after usb-install )
however one time i got a black screen wit a mouse pointer which changed its apperence depending on the unvisible things behind it ...
ctl-alt-f1 -> init 1 -> init 5
solved it only partially ... desktop reappeared but two moving mousepointers ...
i did not try what would happen when clicking with two pointers somewehere
i used
ctrl-alt-f1 -> halt
to securely stop the system ...
until now the bug didn't hit again ...
