Running the Live-USB now... It is fast. Clem and company have done a great job so far! It makes using Gnome3/Gnome Shell almost bearable. That comment is in no way a dig on Linux Mint, Clem or the devs. I'm just still having a hard time with Gome3/Shell. As stupid as it sounds, I really like and mis...

I am having this problem too. Both of my systems have nvidia cards and when I enable the cube the window borders go away. The only thing I can do is revert back to metacity. I did a fresh install of mint 11 on both machines and installed updates and nvidia drivers. Anyone have any suggestions?
