(All the window decorations disappeared when I killed Compiz, but they hadn't been working correctly either, even before installing LimeWire.)

The installed Java version is 1.5.0_11. Would the Compiz problem be resolved by updating Java to a later version?

Thanks for your help.

Default Thanks people

Been trying for hours to get Limewire to do something other than display a blank window. Thought it was something to do with port restrictions or other complex matter. Who would have thought of turning off the Gnome desktop effects? Obviously someone with more knowledge about Ubuntu than I have.

Thanks so much for this piece of advice. Perhaps it should be made sticky until the bug(s) are fixed.
