No buttons!

Hi, I started up Beryl yesterday, and now when I open Firefox or any other program, I do not have the minimise/close buttons in the top right corner. The only way to close is via the file menu. I have removed Beryl via Synaptic, to no effect, I also followed the advice given on another thread and ran the command:

sudo aptitude purge metacity

It is still the same!

I would appreciate any help.

Apologies for posting this in the wrong forum originally.

Thanks for the reply, but I don't now have beryl installed (I removed it using synaptic), so how do I go about getting those buttons back?

All the threads I have seen are about configuring beryl.

Thanks for your patience, beryl now installed again, however, I now only have a 'beryl settings manager' in the menu, and not a beryl entry as well as I had originally. Any clues?

No go I'm afraid, I have emerald installed according to synaptic, yet there is only an emerald theme manager in the menu. Looks like a reinstall to me.... Great shame because I was getting on with it beautifully until I clicked on that wretched 'beryl' button..!

Certainly you have an entry for Beryl in the menu - you need to "click start" Beryl - but I suppose you know that

Just to let you all know, I 'solved' this problem by doing a complete reinstall, not bad really as it took about 45mins, which included installing extra software and tweaking a few files. It is now back to normal!

Many thanks to all who tried to help.

Reinstall may be overkill, but the beauty if Mint (among others) is that with home on a separate partition a reinstall is quick, and even most of your settings are still there (saved in home)
